Is there anywhere to buy Pool Filter Sand online?

[Delhezi222]

Hey all.
I was just wondering if anyone has found anywhere to buy pool filter sand (no silica-based products) online?
I've checked a few pool supply places around here, including Home Depot and Lowe's, and I can't find any. If anyone knows any stores online that sell it, or if anyone in Central Ohio knows where to find some, I'll be very grateful.

Also, anywhere to buy 3m colorquartz online is appreciated also.

Ive actually found my pool filter sand at Lifehouse in Elyria... Its northeast ohio but they seem to be the only ones who have it. (Makes sence they sell pools and acc.)

im not quite sure shipping something as heavy as a 50lb bag of sand is worth it. usps, fedex and the like charge extra for heavy and oversized items, which im pretty sure they would consider a heavy bag of sand.

any place that sells pools in your area should carry filter sand. or you can goto a masonary yard and supply and get "sand blasting sand" i used it for about a year before changing back to gravel at one point.

Yeah, I looked into shipping for a similar kind of sand, and the shipping was $55. Not really worth it. I'm going to look into some more pool supply places soon.
Thanks!

I'm not too far from westerville.
Do you know what the place was called?

it is just south of 270. there is a stoplight, and a Speedway gas station on the west side of the road. is just north of the speedway, but it's not actually on westerville rd. it is on its own road.

if you get to that intersection you will see it. they have a little shed, and a big ?yellow? sign/banner out front

i would call the first to see if they have it in stock, i bought mine in the summer (they may or may not have it in stock year round?)

also, i thought i would point out that it is a light tan color (a little lighter than sandbox sand), not really white like some other pool filter sands.
