Hey guys i really need some advice regarding pool filter sand. I went into clark rubber today asking for pool filter sand. They did have it, but i was not impressed with the colour. It was brownish in colour and looked like raw sugar. What i am after is the premium white stuff... like the tank in LadyRed's kick arse monster tank. So, if anyone knows of the brand or place where i can get that type of white pool filter sand, i owuld be most appreciative.
I'm located near Ringwood so if anyone knows where i can source it, pls don't hesitate to reply here.

Thank you all for ur time

Cheers

Johnny :)

Why do we use the expression "cheap as dirt" when dirt is so expensive? :idea:

WoW Thanks Taksan and Nicholas76.
I will most likely use the sand i purchased from clark rubber due to the fact I bought 2 bags already and since looking at Nick's pics. It's a great relief and yes... it is deceiving.
Thanks Again.
