    HELP, I haven't been able to use my pool since opening.

    Update: It rained and I lost this summer. Alage grew back terribly. All my efforts were lost. The pool stores will not come help me at all. I wasn't aware how terrible they are at helping people.

    Update@ Been at this all day. Finished soaking it over night. Cleaned off chemicals, put it back together and added DE top filter. I now see I should have diluted it first. I will do so next time. Pool has made drastic color change in 6 hours. Eevry hour I was superchlorinating it. Now when I...

    HELP, I haven't been able to use my pool since opening.

    First thing I need to ask is how to properly refill the filter with DE? DO you dilute it first or just circulate without air? Each time I clean and put back together all the DE is on the bottom of the filter.
