  • sand help

    looking to buy some white silica sand went to a few pool places but all they have is a dark tan color anyone know where i could get my hands on some

    I haven't seen any white sand at pool places. The sand I've seen is tan but it looks a lot lighter in color when it is in a bright light.

    If you want white, look into play sand at Home Depot or other stores.

      The PFS (pool filter sand) is a tan color, aragonite sand is truly white. You can find it at most pet stores, but it does run a bit more cash. I have never seen a truly white silica sand before.

                Leslies changed their PFS. now its darker then it was. The store out here on hwy 6 still has the older whiter sand.

                    I haven't seen it in a good while. Fish gallery sells a nice white sand, 50 pounds for $20

                      pool filter sand

                      i bought mines from ace hardware for $12.99 for a 50lbs bag. its not brown nor is it white. under the correct light i think it'll pass for white.
