Followed this guide to add DE to my filter through the skimmer, which says typically plan to add 1-2 cups of DE. Read some other posts where people have only needed to add as little as 1/2 or 3/4 cup. I stopped at 4 cups today and while my filter pressure had moved, it still had not increased by the 1 psi target. Pump was running at 2750, if I recall correctly. Not sure if that means anything in particular, why on average people see the prescribed rise with as little as one cup and I was way over without seeing any.
So should I have kept going even if it meant adding 5 or 6 or more cups? Or should I have been doing this at full tilt on the pump?
