The right filter sand?

I know it's supposed to be No. 20 Silica sand, but does anyone know if this is the right size? It says "50 lb pool filter sand"

I think you're safe going ahead with it -- no guarantees -- but I haven't heard of anyone messing around with filter sand.

Thanks for the reply, I ended up just spending the extra money and buying the sand from the pool store.

That is probably what I would have done, too. Welcome to the Pool Forum, by the way!
