    Default Re: Levels of Pool

    I'm assuming you have a DE filter. You should backwash it when your filter pressure rises 8-10 psi over the "clean" pressure, or when you notice reduced flow from your returns. The backwash process will wash the DE out, so you'll have to add more...I'll let the DE filter people advise you on how much DE to add.
