Rinsing new sand is a lot of work. Rinsing old sand is a LOT of work. You already have it might as well use it. I have reused sand several times in the past. It requires a lot of rinsing but so does most new sand. Rinse a little at a time get it clean.
If you could buy pre rinsed sand that was not going to cloud water at all I might consider buying new sand each time since new sand is also labor intensive might as well use what you got.
