I just recently pre-washed my sand and though of sharing the way I did it.
All you need is a 5 gallon Bucket, which everyone has.
Nylon Paint Strainer (Comes in a 5 gallon or 1 gallon)
You can buy it at your local hardware store(In the paint dep) or local paint store. It cost about $1.50 US. It’s very finely treaded, so no sand is lost (Only about 1%).
Put the nylon on the bucket like so and add some sand.
Fill the bucket up with water. It doesn’t have to be all the way to the top just enough to cover the sand and a little bit more. Move the sand around with your hand, you can also grab the nylon and just shake it all around.
Then grab the nylon like so. Dump the water out and repeat for a couple of times intill the water is clear (The water won’t be crystal clear). TaDa You can modify this anyway you like to. The Nylon is pretty sturdy and can be used many times. I also bought an extra one, just incase I ripped one.
Hopes this help anyone planning or thinking about pre-washing their sand. Also, like I said this is one way to do it.
