Pool Filter Sand

this is the picture of the differences between the sand:

Oh, OK. I think it should be fine. I've seen black-flecked sand. The grains and shape look similar despite the color. It's probably just the source quarry or whatever of the sand that dictates its color. Even mason's sand can come in white, yellow, red or black (and probably some other colors, too.)

Confirmed by MFG and Pool Company that it is indeed #20 silica sand. Odd that it wasn't marked as such anywhere.

Thanks

Just curious-why did you remove the "old" sand?
