Default Concrete joints near pool

P The joints on the deck near my pool need to be re filled. What should
P I use? I've heard of Deck-O-Seal but can I also just use DAP water
P proof concrete caulk? Should I pack sand in the joint first?

Probably the same thing as what is used for filling joints and cracks
in concrete decks and sidewalks. There are various grades/viscosities
available. Some are available in a tube that fits a caulking gun.

Clean out the joints, fill to within 1«" or whatever is advised on the
lable of the filler. We used sand made for a child's sand box as it
was relatively cheap, fine-grade, and was in a convenient to handle
and reseal bag. The sand was also the right colour to blend with the
sidewalsk he sprinkle a layer of sand over the freshly caulked
joints, press in with smooth-soled shoes. (Remove shoes before
entering house!!)
