wrote in

I'm going to replace the sand in my swiming pool filter. I wonder if
it's safe to reuse those sand for kids' sand box? I suppose if it's
safe to swim in the water that filtered by the sand, it should be safe
to play with it. Any ideas?

The purpose of the sand is to remove impurities so the water is safe to swim
in. So, do you want your kids to playing the impurities in the sand?
