Is this "safe sand"??

I went on School Smarts website and searched for this sand and the brand per their website is Sandtastik so it should be the normal silicon and quartz free.

I bought this for my son when he was 1 y.o. very smooth and washed off easily he loves playing in his sand box even now that he is 2, I think it's safer than the cheaper ones that are available out there.

From what I've read it is, however I can't verify seeing I used as decoration

I wouldn't buy Sands Alive for any purpose because it doesn't do what it says it will & it is expensive. Kinetic Sand is much better, but I would not use it outside. Moisture would not be good for it.

No it is not. It is much better. We love it!!! My only recommendation is to buy the bigger one so that you will have more sand to work with. I am going to get the biggest one for Christmas.

I never tried it but I think sand might be pretty hard on the spreader, both weight and grit wise. Might try maybe three or four cups in it just to see, but I'm voting "bad idea".

Yes! I have mine in my backyard. We also take it with us on vac to mtns. Have never tried it in the sand. It's a great set for the price.

It is made of recycled materials and is pretty sturdy. I wouldn't hesitate to let my grandson use it in the sand.

Yes. I've been using mine in sand for a year now. No issues. It look a little bit of adjusting during setup but has performed excellent since day one.

It's fairly dusty, and you would spend a LOT of $ to get enough for a sandbox. So, no. Check at Home Depot or look up play sand in a search engine.

Yes it is true this is more of a pinkish, super light tan color, but I have heard that sifted playsand/sandbox sand works just as great. Sandbox sand comes in white, and is non-toxic since it's for children. And that stuff is bright white! Just remember that if using sand for any reptile, it shouldn't be used as the only substrate, since most reptiles don't live on sand directly, but more of a flat clay mixture. I just used mine as a slight dusting on my tile for my bearded dragon so cleanup was easier. It's worked wonders!

well it is quite sturdy and has a broad base so it should hold up fine...except on sand you can't bounce the balls off the ground, of course. Have fun

Yes! I had the same experience. I thought about contacting the manufacturer, but wondered if mine was just a fluke. It may be because it's unprocessed? It's almost like sand.

I'm not sure if it is. I use a plastic liner with it, so I would do that to be on the safe side.

It is. I made the mistake of not thoroughly rinsing it (I would recommend rinsing it very thoroughly, the dust/cloudiness from not doing so was pretty intense, especially after it settled on every plant and surface in the tank). There are some other more course sands that have a bit darker tone, but I am very happy with the look of the Flourite Black Sand.

I don't know if it's a mixture. I'm not sure how to tell. I was unable to detect any sand in it when I put it in the filter. I replaced some old Zeolite and there was no sand in that. Whatever the case, the product works well. Be sure to follow the instructions and flush the filter thoroughly before circulating into the pool. If you don't you will end up with cloudy water that will probably have to be replaced.

It is but remember to put sand in the side pockets.....that made all the difference between ours and the other cheaper versions on the beach.....ours did not blow away....caution though....when taking it apart be very gentle in pulling the sticks apart......we riped ours couldn't repair it and had to buy another mid vacation.....hope it helps

Yes, it is. I bought one bag of sand at Walmart and it was enough to fill it. That gives it the weight to not blow over. God bless.

I don't see why not. It's just sand, but carefully cleaned and strained for animal use.
