Howdy all!
I am opening my pool this weekend. Got my DE filter up and running and added the appropriate amount. I have a mesh cover so the water is more 'swamp' than I would like but it is clearing quickly. Of course, with the clearing comes the rising filter pressure and I am sure I will need to backwash in the next day or so, hence my question.
When I backwash my DE filter it removes some of the DE, is this correct? If so, how do I guesstimate how much to add back?
I am sure I will have more questions as I move forward, but this one is really messing with my head at the moment.
Thanks!
