    My pool was built in 1981 and has never had the sand changed.The sand was kinda nasty and when i vacuumed it , the closer i got to the laterals the more it looked like masonry sand.i installed new pool spec.sand,coarse in the bottom and fine on top. I got 5lbs of de that i plan on puttig in tomorrow.Today i vacuumed to waste until i got below the skimmers. I am now filtering from the bottom until it refills above the skimmers again.this is a great site and thanks again for the info.Oh yea ,thanks for the english lesson too....

    Don't forget you only want your pressure to rise by1 psi, and that rises happens slowly-- it can take up to 30 minutes or so. I wouldn't start with the whole 5 pounds at once-- I'd start with a couple of cupfulls and then go from there.
