Te only pool filter sand I found was so fine it was almost like flour consistancy. So I just bought the regular estes sand.

Look for Blue Shield High commercial grade PFS. It will come in larger grain that is perfect size.
 
here is a pic of 2 different types pool filter sand for reference:

(#1 is aquaquartz, and I can't remember the other)

The stuff in the 2nd pic is what I was looking for......and probably cheaper
 
yea i like the look of the second picture rather than the first.
hey do you guys think that lowes sells pool filter sand?or home depot?
 
I've seen it at both lowes and HD/
 
On the 2nd pic is that stright up PFS or is it mixed with something else?
 
Hey is silica sand the same as pool sand?Home Depot is selling 50lbs for $7. im thinking about getting it:thumbsup:
 
no...filter sand is sized for uniformity while none of the rest of it is. and pool filter sand comes in several grades or sizes.

Personally I always use crushed coral.
 
bump
 
so i bought silica sand at HD,and i like it my JDs like it. it brought out more blue in them..
