I bought some pool filter sand and it says 20 grade on the front. What does it mean? Is this a good grade? I opened it and the sand looks pretty sharp as far as i can tell but im a noob when it comes to sand. And also some of it looks pretty fine is this still okay?
 
grade refers to granule size, easy way to test is to drop some of the washed sand into a glass of water to see if it will sink quickly or not, I have PFS, but only what wal-mart sells and I don't think it had a grade
