    what to add to water besides salt?

    We dont use the tub too much at all. I was thinking i could use a little sodium dichlor and the solaxx mini, together hopefully this will work. But i was told by a lady at Lelies that i should add something (cant remember) when the water gets cloudy. any idea what this could be?

    using filter media in sand filters, feedback please!

    ok, just wondering why I am reading mixed reviews with sand filters? Is it brand related? I am looking to go with Pentair. I have read sand filters filter up to 30 microns? If I add DE as said above wouldn't that help with water clarity?

    using filter media in sand filters, feedback please!

    Hi, well after careful consideration on choosing a filter it looks like I am going with a sand filter. I want to use a filter media like zeobest to vastly improve the filtering. Has any of you used this stuff in your sand filters? Or anything similar to it? How well does it work?
