Adding DE to sand filter

[CarlD]

but you should pre-mix the DE in a few gallons of water and pour it in the skimmer slowly. I even think they say this on the DE package.

oops.




Also try skimmer socks in your skimmer. They catch an amazing amount of crud that's very, very fine, like skin oils and pollen and such.

Yeah, I've been using skimmer socks for quite a while now, and I am a huge advocate of them.

A neighbor of mine says he uses old pantyhose / stockings in place of the $7.00 skimmer sox. Do you think thats a good idea? (I am curious to ask him what he did with them before they were 'old' pantyhose.... )
