I remember using pool filter sand, but don't remember using a particular brand? Any recommendations?

In general it is not a branded product, you are buying a mineral that is crushed and sieved to a particular grain size. Look for 100% silica and 20 grain. You don't say where you are in the US but I have had best luck buying from a pool and spa chain called Leslies.

Thanks! I live in New Hampshire.

As DJ said brand doesn't really matter. But since you asked, mine is HTH brand which can be found at any Ace Hardware store around the country.

I had a lot of trouble finding PFS in the winter here on Long Island. But ended up finding some at a hardware store.

Brand matters if you want something other than the white silica. Red Flint has a very nice PFS and aquarium sand in #20 size. It would appear the two products are the same. Whether they are available to you is another thing.
