Pool Deck Grout Dilemma

I have spent the last several days removing/scraping (by hand) the 10 year old polymer sand from between 1600 sf of pool deck tiles. We are now at the stage were we have to decide whether or not to use a Polymeric sand again or an Epoxy grout. There are numerous small and larger gaps in the stones, so Polymeric sand seems like the obvious option, but I have spent the last 10 years cleaning the debris (sand) out of the pool and want to use anything but sand. perhaps the one we used originally (10 years ago) was not good quality but upon research it would seem that using epoxy grout is expensive and much harder to lay. Any suggestions for such a large area would be much appreciated. https://preview.redd.it/ew0ree94ft4f1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=90eb383eb55026aae975b3e9037b353c9500ddbf https://preview.redd.it/gxbi3ga4ft4f1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de368ba36f41af9995e9c8c71927143d9d65b93f https://preview.redd.it/8pxvie94ft4f1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64cc55b5e4f90ecbde2a01ed885756c022f81068 https://preview.redd.it/homq7k94ft4f1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dfb9e2cb88101dcdf7614f82995482b29a30e40e submitted by /u/Taravali108 [link] [comments]
