I think the problem is pool filter sand is probably not the right
grade for a sand box.

Maybe, but hard for me to imagine what difference any grade might make
to the process of filling a bucket with a plastic shovel.

The problem is if the sand is too fine a grade, it sticks to their
clothes and ends up being "dirt" when they track it inside.

I agree, the cat **** a sand box seems to collect is a lot more of a
health problem than heavily chlorinated filter sand.

The chlorine isn't going to hang around on that sand for long.

At least it starts clean.


Would it not have a bit of junk from the pool mixed in? Hair,dead skin,
any other flotsam from the pool.

Sure, just like play sand left outside will have dead insects, leaf debris,
bird droppings, kids snot, cat doo doo, etc before long. Whatever was
in the filter at least was chlorinated.
