sweep it and put soap and water on a wash rag
It already is used as pool sand!
I'm assuming you are using a sand filter. First, is the pump and filter hooked up corretly? Pumping the water through the filter the wrong way will blow sand into your pool. Is the control valve in the correct position? If it's in between positions it might let some sand into the pool. Is the control valve cracked or broken? Self explanitory.
I used a sand base for our 20' round above ground pool. It's much easier to deal with after the pool is gone. Greener too.
yes you can
If you have a sand filter the laterals in it may be starting to show signs of wear these wil blow sand from the sand filter into the pool when they wear out.
The main floor of the Coliseum in Rome consisted of a wooden floor covered with sand. The term arena refers to the sand that covered the floor.

The amount of sand in a pool filtration system depends on its size.
Many people mistake "mustard algae" as sand in their pool. Does the sand briefly disappear when you run a pool brush over it? Mustard algae resettles quickly and looks very much like filter sand. We have helped many customers with this problem. Also, if there is truly sand in the pool and you have replaced the laterals, check for any leakage of air around the filter. You may hear or see cavation in the pump when it is shut off.

SAnd is used in sand filters. rocks are not used in pool filters.
No, sharp sand and pool filter sand are not the same. Sharp sand, also known as concrete sand, has larger, angular particles and is often used in construction and landscaping. Pool filter sand, on the other hand, is specifically graded silica sand designed for use in swimming pool filtration systems, providing effective filtration due to its uniform particle size and smooth texture. Using the wrong type can affect pool water clarity and filtration efficiency.
