Fliter Sand, HTS vs. Zeobrite??

[Digger]

Thanks everyone for info. Janet, I will keep that in mind. I know the sales lady online yesterday was telling me about how Zeobrite worked, and it sounded convincing, but was not sure? I wanted to hear from others on here. I will take all of this into consideration. I was wondering on my tank it says to put I think half way full of water, than add sand. do you do that with the Zeo? Does it swell up beings you use half as much as sand, or doesn't that matter as far as cleaning. I am trying to grasp the concept and how it works?

Carl, I don't think I want to be around a million years! LOL, but that is good to know! Smile! Still am thrilled to death that we don't have to change the stinking stuff EVERY year, like we had to the last 2 years with Baq!!

So, I guess forget about being so cheap and pricing sand and just go and get it if that is what I am going to use, because it lasts really long once you put it in. The reason I am pricing is because this is the third year in a row to replace it. Oh well!

I don't know if I want to live a million years with my pool and filter--but I sure would like the opportunity to choose!

Seriously, I have found that using DE in my sand filter, along with skimmer socks in my...skimmer, a solar cover when the pool is not in use, and, finally, the water-polishing effect of a robotic cleaner leaves my water absolutely sparkling. I don't know if Zeo would do any better. I've not seen a Zeo pool.
