I'm just confused about the dosage. Bag says 6 cups for 24 sq ft. My filter is about 27 sq ft. That's not my issue though.
According to the chart on the bag you only need 1lb of DE per 10 sqft. So a 27 sqft filter would be only 2.7lb of DE. the label on my filter says to use 6lbs of DE.
So I'm confused if I should be using the bags recommendation for cellulose or should it be more? For the time being I put in the recommended 6 cups plus a little more to account for the 3 extra sqft.
I'm really hoping this cellulose works out because I don't have a good place to drain the DE when I backwash.
