DE in Sand Filter -> Do under normal conditions or only under special circumstances?
Good afternoon,
So my pool is humming along, just trying to figure out pool filter timing and all, but my pool is clear and good to go. I have been reading up on Pool School just to make sure I am not missing anything, and read about putting DE into a Sand Filter. From what I understand is the small amount that gets put in will be removed when I backwash. I backwash about once a week normally, and more often in Spring when tree leaves/pollen falls.
Question. Should I be using DE in my filter now, under normal conditions? Or just if I have some cloudy water or an issue? I mean my pool is clear, but at night, when light is on, you can see small particles in the water. Not a big deal, but adding DE seems like a small task, so I am wondering if I should be doing it regularly.
thanks in advance!
