I just put up an above ground pool and we used sand to level the ground. To level the sand, we used one of those string levelers and tied it to stakes on each side of the pool area to make sure it was all level.
Unfortunately, no. If the sand isn't level when you put the pool on top of it, the bottom of the pool will stay uneven after it's filled. Sorry.
SAnd is used in sand filters. rocks are not used in pool filters.

You don't use sand to level the ground that the pool sits on. The sand is used on the inside of the pool, after the ground has been leveled by taking the highest point down to the lowest point after the grass has been removed. The manufacturer's usually recommend 2" of sand on the inside of the pool before the liner is installed. It sounds like you are installing a used pool, since you do not have instructions. Here is a link to some instructions that could possibly be used. http://www.royalswimmingpools.com/install.htm
You will need to level the area under the pool, though. Most suggest using sand to do this.
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.
Don' know how to store used filter sand, but a good question none the less :)
Usually the top of the sand filter is above the water level of the pool, so all you have to do is unscrew the top and look in. However if the filter is below the pools water level you will have to cut of the water coming from and to the pool before you do. who added the sand? If you did - did you follow the manufacturer's instructions as to how much and what type of sand to use? Instructions tell you - - SPECIFICALLY - - how many pounds of # 20 silica sand to use.
Sand is a general term for small rock particles and granules found on beaches and deserts, while silica sand specifically refers to a type of sand that contains a high concentration of silica. Silica sand is used in various industrial applications due to its high purity and hardness.
It is best to use a fairly clean sand, like washed river sand shy away from a loamy sand as used by bricklayers.
To level an above ground pool, you need to use a long carpenter's level to check the ground for any uneven areas. If you find any, you can use sand or a leveling kit to fill in the low spots and create a flat surface for the pool to sit on. It's important to ensure the ground is level to prevent the pool from shifting or becoming unstable.
