CarlD,

HOW do you do this? (I'm not ready yet (or even no if I should do this) - still working on that algae problem!) Is this something I might want to do? Or do I just want to keep sand? If I have to have "maintenance" it's usually expensive -- because I have to call the pool place. WHERE do you add this DE? And it's okay to mix sand & DE? If this is addressed somewhere else, I apologize for not continuing my search of threads.
And I can't thank you enough for all your help -- but thanks for all your help.
