level above ground pool

I have reviewed some answers re: leveling above ground Pools. I have used "all purpose sand" vs. "play/beach sand" Will this sand be ok before i actually lay down the ground liner?

This sand is fine for under the liner and should be at least 4 inches deep. Level it with a 2x4 half the diameter of the pool. Sweep in a circle. Do not use sand under your perimeter ring. That must be on block or solid soil.

How about foam insulation cut to retro fit underneath and around
