Default Is it safe to reuse pool filter's sand for sand box?

I think the problem is pool filter sand is probably not the right

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.


I wonder if that sand would be any good for mixing your own concrete? o_O
