Anyone figure out the best way to rinse sand withOUT tapwater, and without preparing a ton of RO/DI water?

yeah.. i'm thinking about preparing a bin of RO/DI water, with a dechlorinator.
I'll rinse the sand with straight tap water, then put the sand in the bin to remove the chlorine, then finally transfer to the display tank.

-rinse with r/o (i usually do it once)
-let the excess dust powder float out of the bag (still keeping sand in bag)
-slowly lower bag to bottom of tank
-and slowly let out sand
This has always worked better for me, than to completely take out the sand into a bucket.
