Question
Do I need to empty the pool if I had used all purpose sand but am switching it out?

Answer
helo vola, i switched the question and answer to publis so others may read it too.

im not sure i understand your question...

Do you have regular sand in your pool, or aquarium?  

basically, you need to find ARAGONITE sand... all purpose maybe silica sand...

silica is not good for aquariums.. it will lead to algea blooms and higher silica levels...

look for aragonite sand.

good luck
