How to Use

How to Use

Why You Should Use This Product: This filter aid is designed for use with D.E. filters on pools and spas. It helps remove extremely small particles, restores filter efficiency, and improves overall water clarity.

Before Use: Test pool water and ensure proper water balance before adding this product.

Application Instructions

  1. Use approximately 1.5 lb of filter aid per 10 sq ft of filter surface area. Refer to the filter manufacturer’s guide for exact surface area.
  2. Slurry the D.E. Filter Aid in water so it pours easily. Mix 1 part powder with approximately 10 parts water until the mixture has a milky appearance.
  3. With the pump running, slowly pour the mixture into the skimmer nearest the filter.

Opening Your Pool

If the D.E. filter was cleaned and stored as part of the previous season’s closing process, reassemble the filter according to the manufacturer’s instructions before adding this product.

If the filter was not cleaned at the end of the previous season, clean it first, then follow the application instructions above.

Winterizing

Follow the filter manufacturer’s recommendations for closing or winterizing procedures. Failure to properly follow instructions could damage the filter from freezing.
