    Thanks so much for the help. We just added CYA, salt and chlorox. We have a sand filter. I know this is probably a dumb question but what is DE? I probably should know. You have answered many questions we had but I'm sure we will have many more.

    DE powder is Diatomaceous earth which is a type of filter media. DE filters use this powder instead of sand. And ..... let me add my welcome to you as well!
