    Jan, you're right. In this pool, it is better to add to the skimmer rather than in front of a return jet. Glad Jan caught that.

    Thanks so much. You guys are great. I am learning so much and in a way I can take in and digest and really use instead of just having product shoved at me - belive me, that's not my style in any part of my life.

    So Intex has skimmers now...hmmm! But if it's a cartridge filter I still think you should hold off on adding DE. DE is really best for sand filters and, of course, DE filters.

    Thanks...they have a pretty basic skimmer system from what little I know about such beasts but a skimmer it is. I'll have to research all the kinds of filters, etc
