The manufacturer recomends a #20 silica sand. I use Clorox brand pool & spa filter sand plus I obtained at Lowe's. It comes in a 25 pound box. They rec9omend using 25 pounds for every 50 pounds of regular filter sand. I filled the sand filter to the minimum level on the center tube of the filter. The flow pressure is 7psig which is ideal for this size of filter. After you backwash and rinse on initial start up, take a Sharpie and mark the water pressure gage faceplate at the start up pressure indicated. Back wash and rinse when this pressure is 10 psig above the start up pressure. Have fun. Frank The manufacturer recomends a #20 silica sand.

Im sure to make sure the sand you use is not from yard where a cat or dog might have used prior to you putting it in the sand box. That would be my guess

No, it does not come with sand. You can usually get sand at a local hobby store.

It looks to be crystalline silica, like normal sand grains. Just very well sorted, and cleaner than normal play sand silica grains.

Personal Preference for me (Sand).I grew up training with sand. Plus living in Florida, it's free.

That's not needed if it's already level. If you want to smooth out the ground some sand leveled would do

No sand is needed if installed properly. Great ladder. Had another just like it and lasted for years. With stands rambunctious kids and intoxicated adults!

Just in the pan. Sand only goes in pan it helps to disburse the flame to give a more realistic look.

The sand is a slightly off white, non messy like regular sand, soft ,molds great with shapes given with larger set, best thing I ever bought grandkids. Good for bad summer days and winter play. Or whenever. I love to play with it. Shape are different colors.

If I remember correctly, I think we used the small pebbles instead of sand.The base is pretty big so you would probably need 2 small to medium size bags.Our grandkids love it !

Per our research, this item should not be used with sand but is said to be safe for use with plants. The sand will stop up the line and bring troubles down the road with the product.

I wouldn't buy Sands Alive for any purpose because it doesn't do what it says it will & it is expensive. Kinetic Sand is much better, but I would not use it outside. Moisture would not be good for it.

sand itself may not be clean and will be very fine. I do know that industrial sandblasting grit can be used in the rough stages, as it is quite course. I suppose if you could get some clean silica sand from you local building supply store, it may be suitable and way less expensive!

We used the foam cove wedges. I would highly recommend them. Don't see how you could put sand on top of the pad.

It's been so long, I can't remember. I bought this for my granddaughter for a sand box. You might want to try it. It's very clean sand but don't quote me on this.

I used water. Filled it up completely. I don't know that sand would be better, but the water held it in place just fine.

Yes. However, the question is really water vs sand, and water is significantly heavier than sand and way easier to put in. Between water and gel, the water leaks out easier. If the base gets moved often, cracks will develop, and in my experience cconcrete withe water added is the best option.
