Adding DE to a sand filter

[AnnaK]

Dave,
Do you use DE in your filter and have looked to see how it looks after it is added or is this just the info you have read that Ben wrote elsewhere on the forum. Just curious.

This begs for clarification. In order to offer an explanation or advice to the best of our knowledge, must we have personal experience with the issue? Or can we rely on knowledge we've gained from trusted, external sources combined with our own ability to analyze, internalize, and understand?

If I'm required to have personal experience with an issue before I attempt to help someone, I'm in trouble and I'd best just stay silent.

Anna,
I was just curious if he had looked inside a sand filter that had used DE in it or not. I have not looked inside mine after I have added it. Just wondered if he had. That's all. Nothing more.

[AnnaK]

Okay. Your phrasing had me worried.

[Watermom]

No problem!
