I was wondering if there was a danger of excessive DE buildup if I use it as part of my sand filter system. I understand the initial setup process, but afterwards it gets a little blurry. After adding my DE and pressure has reached 1 psi, I have determined my ongoing dosage. As time elapses, and the DE traps particles that sand won't, the pressure will rise. By how much I don't know what's allowed. Once I determine that number, I am to backwash, which supposedly backwash's out the DE. Not sure how long I should backwash to get rid of the clogged DE. Once determined, I'll meet that requirement. I feel confident I just start the process all over again. Please provide me with any and all corrections so as to prevent me from screwing up my filter system.
Thank you all so much.
