Can I use this sand?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I think there are a lot of people on this board that notice the word "sand" in the thread title and their only thought is to extol the virtues of Pool Filter Sand and tell the thread starter that they are wrong in wanting to try something different. I, and everyone else on this board, have seen multiple sand threads started and not once has this Medium Grade Sand been talked about. Has anyone lauding the PFS used this medium grade sand? What if it's better than PFS? Has anyone thought about the answer to that question? It appears to me that some of you are becoming "sand elitists."

Well, I'll let you know how this works because I have decided to give it a try. I will not be able to tell if it is better then PFS though because I am new to sand and have never used it. If I am reading it right it is only 6.14 for a 100# bag. I'll post pics when I am done...I am planning on doing it next weekend.

Well, everyone ended up being out of that sand when I went to get it. So I ended up using a very fine sand like argonite. It was a mess at first even though I did wash it but has cleared up nicely over the last 2 days.

Before it cleared...:WHOA:

After...:D
