Can you open it up and use your own sand?

No, I do not see anyway to open it. The sand it comes with is black, but it looks very nice with the Bronze.

We got a bag of sand at Home Depot - not sure exactly how much we used but had over half a bag left. We did use a funnel and took two of us. Guess it could be done alone but easier with another pair of hands.

You can. Remove rear wheels and axle and sprinkler assembly coming out the top. Then it should come open. Been awhile since I did it.

Depends on how much sand you put in the base. If the base is mostly empty than it should not be a problem, otherwise you will need to meter how much gel you put in the base.

I believe so. :)I put water in ours, and I think what ever you put in it will work. You will have to have it sitting at an angle to get it in though. Once we need to go to a higher settings, I plan on putting sand it in.

Yes. We filled our 's with water just in case we wanted to move it later. But they suggest filling it with either sand or water.

Yes you can put sand in it. You can put water, marbles, dried beans, etc. in it.

No. But I wouldn't see why you'd want sand. It works perfectly fine without it.

Yes you can. It makes for a perfect sensory table. You can even fill the whole bottom with sand or water if you wanted. There is no divider in the bottom, that's the only downfall.

Yes you can but had to be careful when opening it since it is very hot and there's a lot of pressure.

If it is a sand filter you should be able to use it. It replaces sand on 1:1 ratio.

No. This ball does not have sand in it. It actually comes flat and you have to blow it up yourself.

No it does not come with the sand. It'll take 3 bags of sand if you were to buy it at the hardware store

You can shape it with your hands, fill the area, wait for it to harden, and then sand it. It's a little too thick to use with a trowel

No. The Sandbox needs to be purchased separately. The sand is actually very "clean" and leaves little to no residue. We have used a different box.

You can use sand, if the sand is fine. It should flow through the water wheel part.

Yes you can. Just make sure it is clean and wiped out with a paper towel before your start.
