Play sand is fine, but pool filter sand is not considered safe. Play sand is very cheap and completely safe as long as you properly rinse, sift, and bake it before using it.

I completely understand not wanting to waste things we buy for many reasons, but perhaps you can find an alternate use for the leftover pool filter sand that doesn't include giving it to hamsters!
