    Cool DE powder, algae, & sand filters

    How do I use DE powder to get algae out along with a sand filter?

    I'd be interested to know what happened. DE powder can be useful when used with AG pool sand filters . . . but only for removing DEAD algae. Live algae stops up DE very quickly.

    DE powder can also be used to *test* a sand filter -- if the DE blows back into the pool, the filter needs service!
