Check with a local concrete or masonry supply company. They usually have a selection of different grades of sand. Also many home improvement stores and, of course pool stores are a good source.

Edit: Will also be known as #20 Quartz filter sand

Lowes, home depot, pool store all should have #20 sand.

Ace Hardware store

Check the garden center at Home Depot where the pool supplies are stored.

I shopped around this week for silica sand. My local Wal-mart didnt carry it, only paver sand.
I checked Lowe's and the only thing they had were 25# boxes of silica sand and they were like $25 each. No thank you.
I went to Home Depot and they carry quickcrete brand pool sand 50# bag for like $5.47
Thats what I got and it seems to be working fine.
