That’s crazy. Lowe’s and Home Depot have them in stock all of the time here. I buy at Lowe’s because I can get 2 gallons of 10% for only $7. You might need to make a trip down here. 😉

I did this after I replaced over half of my water at the beginning of the season. No algae. Others here have noted they use roughly the same amount as me, so I’ve not thought twice about it until your post.

10% 3.5 Gallons a week is 1/2 gallon a day - about double what you are using. We swim in the pool almost every day. I always try to buy something that has been put on the shelf in the last 30 days. Yes. Phoenix.

Does anyone in the Phoenix, Arizona area have a place they recommend for chlorine bottle exchange? I currently recycle my 1 gallon containers, but at 3.5 gallons a week it still feels so wasteful. It’d be great to have a place to pop in and exchange.

The DE filters to a smaller micron than pool sand.

I’ve tried it twice now, each time after I backwash the filter (which I do on Saturdays). The pressure does not increase even over the span of a few days.

I followed the guide, but even after two full cups of DE the pressure in my filter did not rise at all. The guide didn’t really indicate whether going beyond two cups was safe or not, so I have not tried any more than the two cups. Why am I not seeing any change in pressure after adding two...

I am planning on it!

Hey all, I realized yesterday I never really updated everyone on my results. Well, I will let the photos do the talking. Thanks everyone!
