    OK--but until we know what the DE did to the zeo, we won't be recommending it for zeo folks to try. If, during this season, you have to open the filter for any other reason, just keep this thread in mind--and let us know what you found.

    I don't know if your problem is solved but it all happened to me as well.

    Mine was pollen silt...I put 1 cup of DE in my skimmer (I have a sand filter) moved the water for a couple of days steady TA-DA it's gone.

    I will warn you though backwash everyday because if you don't the silt will still be your sand and blow right back in. The other thing is your pool will be cloudy for awhile if you don't put clarifier in there pretty quick.

    The issue here is that the poster has zeosand, rather than filter sand, and we're still not sure of the effect of the DE on the zeo. Thanks for your comment, though, because it's just one other documented case where what we teach here does work!
