It does NOT come with Sand. I purchased 3 50lb bags and almost used all of it. I just searched for pool filter sand and purchased it from Lowes.

The Intex - 3000 GPH Above Ground Pool Sand Filter Pump, does not include the sand. You will need #20 Silica Sand with a particle size range of 0.45mm to 0.85mm (0.018in to 0.033in). We hope this information is helpful and if you need further assistance please call our Service Center at 1-800-234-6839.

No sand. We used aquaquarts 20grade silica sand. It doesn’t call for a specific brand but it does call for a specific grade.
