I'm thinking of switching over from DE to one of the fiber/cellulose products, but I have a couple of questions. First, having searched the forum for this topic I ran across this statement:
Second, for those who have made the switch, do you think that there is any difference between the 2 major brands that I'm seeing advertised: Fiber Clear vs. ZeoFiber? Again, it's hard to distinguish between fact & marketing mumbo jumbo. I wonder if it is basically the same ingredient from 2 different suppliers...
Thanks,
Dave
This was posted last year, I think. I'm wondering if this comment is still valid, because the current prices I'm seeing both on the web and in the PS seem to be about the same between DE & fiber. Also, the websites for the fiber alternatives claim that the product actually filters better than DE. Just marketing hype?JasonLion said:The alternative to DE is cellulose based products like Fiber Clear or ZeoFiber. They cost way more than DE and don't work quite as well but they are safe to use and biodegradable.
