My filter is a Hayward S360T2, 700 lb. sand unit. I have a pool maintenance company advising me to place 200 lb of Pea Gravel in before adding 11 more (50 lb.) sacks of glass or sand media. Does anyone here think that is a good idea? The sales rep claims that "Having a layer of pea gravel at the bottom gives nice spacing around the laterals so the water has an easy pathway." I just spent several grueling hours vacuuming out the original sand, and cannot imagine being the poor guy trying to vacuum out pea gravel at some future date. Yur comments would be appreciated.
