Would Not RecommendI followed every instruction to the T on prepping this sand. All Summer Long, My pool would turn green. We backwashed regularly filtered our pool for eight hours per day. I would have to shock the pool once a month because our pool would just turned green and I couldn’t see the bottom. We kept the chemistry of our at a good level as much as we could, and this was so frustrating. I decided to pull the top off of pool pump and look at the sand… And what do you know? The whole thing smelled l...

Great Pool filter media been using for 3 years
Would RecommendI've been using this same filter media for over 3 years and works great. You do need to do a lot of backwashing before having it flow into the pool or you'll end up with grey water.
Makes the water cloudy at first
Would Not RecommendIt will eventually do what you need it to but waiting for the cloudiness to clear up is a pain

Rinse Rinse Rinse
Would RecommendI read the mixed reviews and after having no other choices available when I bought this i was very skeptical. But I took heed in what everyone had to say n I learned from their mistakes. Rinse is the key. I put the sand in a 5 gal bucket n rinsed emptied and rinsed continuously for about an hour until it was almost clear. Best I could do... it seemed the green cloudiness everyone was talking about was present n difficult to remove. So after about an hour I turned on the pump. I had one small bu...
Garbage
Would Not RecommendI repeatedly backwashed and rinsed my filter but ended up ruining my freshly refilled pool. By the end of the day my pool was just as murky as Myrtle beach. I ended up replacing it with regular sand which cleared up my pool in less than 8 hours. Garbage product, it should be pulled from the shelves. I will attach images of the sand I used to replace it with for cheaper.

Horrible product
Would Not RecommendTried this crappy excuse for pool sand this year. I have never had to use anything other than stabilizer and chlorine to keep my pool crystal clear and balanced. THIS product has continuously sprayed out into my pool even after backwashing and rinsing. Turned my water green. NOT from algae. Put our old brand in and the pool has cleared up in three days after backwashing this crap out of the new sand five times. Spraying out green. Do not use this unless you want a whole lot of headache.
