BULK PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What Is a 3,000 LB Bentonite Super Sack Used For?

A 3,000 lb Super Sack is the bulk standard for pond sealing and soil-lined water-containment projects. The material is spread or mixed at a rate selected for the soil, then compacted to create a continuous low-permeability layer.

One sack may support a repair or smaller project. Larger ponds commonly require multiple bags or full truckloads, so quantity should be calculated from treatment area and soil conditions—not acreage alone.

Best Suited For

  • Farm and livestock ponds
  • Leaking pond repairs
  • Irrigation reservoirs
  • Retention ponds
  • Commercial containment

Planning reference only: Actual quantity depends on soil permeability, pond preparation, application method, coverage consistency and compaction. These figures are not a performance guarantee.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT MATERIAL

Mix Mesh or Granular Bentonite?

The product form must match the pond condition and application method. Do not treat fine and granular material as interchangeable.

DRY OR DRAINABLE POND

Fine / Mix Mesh Bentonite

Designed for controlled blanket and mixed-soil installation where the material can be distributed uniformly, confined in the soil layer and compacted. For full-basin lining and new pond construction, see our bentonite pond liner guide.

  • New pond construction
  • Blanket or mixed-soil method
  • Prepared soil and compaction required
  • The 200-mesh technical reference applies to fine material

KNOWN LEAK · WATER-FILLED POND

Granular / Crushed Bentonite

Larger particles may be considered for targeted application through water when the leak is identified. Placement is less controlled than a compacted dry installation.

Confirm the presentation before ordering. Availability, material price and recommended application may differ between Mix Mesh and Granular bentonite. If you are still choosing a method, use the pond sealer decision guide.

APPLICATION METHODS

Choose the Method That Fits the Pond

Preparation, equipment, compaction and pond condition determine which application method offers the strongest control.

BEST CONTROL · DRY POND

Blanket Method

Spread bentonite over prepared soil, cover it with a protective layer and compact thoroughly for a continuous barrier.

  • New or drainable pond
  • Full-area treatment
  • Controlled compaction
Learn the Blanket Method

PREPARED DRY SOIL

Mixed-Soil Method

Blend bentonite uniformly into the upper soil layer, then compact it to create a consistent low-permeability barrier.

  • Uniform soil mixing
  • Consistent treatment depth
  • Protective cover when needed
View Instructions

WATER-FILLED POND

Water-Filled Application

Granular bentonite may be applied over an identified leak when the pond cannot be drained, although placement is less controlled.

  • Known leak location
  • Granular bentonite
  • Variable field conditions

Juan Alvaro D. · Verified Google review135,000 LB PROJECT

★★★★★ Product, service and pricing were excellent! I bought a pallet of Bentonite from Diego at Lonestar GTC Minerals and highly recommend checking with them for prices and product when planning out a job. Thanks Diego!Thomas F.Thomas F. ★★★★★ I have had 4 other pond builders out to a location in the hill country of desired 1ac pond. All 4 were ready to start escavation without researching soil content, collection potential, or if a well would be needed to supplement water supply. Rick came out several times and brought with him an experienced excavation operator. He took soil samples which he tested, and lasered elevations. His bid was reasonable and in line with others. But after his research we decided that this project was not a good idea. He saved me from a bad experience. But if I was going to proceed he would have been my only choice to proceed with out of the 5 pond contractors that were interviewed.jerry H.jerry H. ★★★★★ We hired Lone Star Bentonite to work on a stock pond We have at our property In Millet, Tx.The price was competitive, service was great, but most important, the pond holds water now. Art and Ricardo are profesional friendly folks. Highly recommended!peter S.peter S. ★★★★★ Extremely professional and very easy to work with. They provided us with a great product in a very timely manner. I highly recommend working with lone star materials!amy S.amy S. ★★★★★ Lonestar Minerals really has some high quality bentonite product! Really glad I went with them, their product solved my pond leak!Jose C.Jose C. ★★★★★ Lonestar Minerals provide excellent service and results for us. They sealed a leaking seasonal pond that now holds and is beautiful increasing the value of our property dramatically. Ric was great to work with, very responsive, and went out of his way to help us.Stephen J.Stephen J. ★★★★★ Did a great job in applying Bentonite to our pond. From the start Rick was extremely helpful in setting up or project. Everything went exactly to plan and we are very happy with the result!Steven P.Steven P. ★★★★★ Purchased 12,000 lbs of a bentonite blend for our water treatment unit.Product performed better than the other blend we were buying and saved over 25%.Will do more business with them!Arquitectura S.Arquitectura S. ★★★★★ We purchased 3 truckloads of sodium bentonite from Lonestar, service was superb, price competitive, and most important the material quality was great! Our pond is holding water the way it is supposed to! I highly recommend Lonestar as your go to supplier!!Karla T.Karla T. ★★★★★ Arthur Mendez and Ricardo Arzac are super individuals. They are so easy to talk to and are willing to take the time to listen to your problems. Both are extremely knowledgeable. I met Ricardo when I picked up a load of bentonite in Bulverde. I know he was busy, but he took the time to study some pictures I had and offer several possibilities to approach my issue. Talk to them once and you will be amazed. You can't go wrong!!Richmond E.Richmond E.js_loader
