My elderly parents have a Hayward D.E. filter for their 10,000 gallon IG pool. My dad says he is changing the D.E. twice a day during start up. He adds 7 cups of D.E. to the skimmer and changes the grids each time. He says he needs to do it 5 times before the pool will be clear. This seems excessive to me - could anyone help? I have a sand filter system in our IG pool, so I am not familiar with the D.E. system. Dad has used a whole box of D.E. in 2 days.
Thanks!
