Lol. I just did as I was looking up the ones you posted. The DE filter aid probably wont hurt you. You just need something to 'dirty up' your filter so it filters finer particles faster. (Why we're adding DE to a sand filter)
This scares me-- reading that post said his pool became cloudy after using the HTH Filter aid--- so I am concerned about that, being that I am still newly trained and am working very hard at this. So in your heart of hearts - should I stay with the Dicalite DE bag for $34.99 to be really safe?
@Mdragger88 uses the HTH. She has sand too and does not have it in her heart to steer anyone wrong. I'll go with that for that alone.
I'll go with a high 7 as well. So it's fine. Move along. Lol.
Finish any test and move on. When they sit they get wonky. None of that counts after the initial test is over.
I think you’re worried about the trees instead of the forest. Put it in now and test again tomorrow and add as needed.
i guess i am doing ok and as u said the color is turning blue. Yay!!!
Hello and thank u. Would u know how much to put in?? For my pool
Just a hint from someone who had made ALL the mistakes - that back of water you make with the cover? It may be tempting to try and remove with power equipment. We did that one year, used our dogs vinyl covered cable tether to make the "balloon". Attached it to the Kubota tractor. Everything was going great, as planned. Til it wasn't - the cover was not designed to hold the weight of that amount of water and shattered. Impressive amount of pea soup pond slime. All over the bottom of the previously almost pristine clean pool bottom
