We were at a friend’s pool the other day. It was everything you want in a perfect relaxing summer day. Sunny & hot. Beautiful crystal clear pool. Floating around on a tube without a care in the world until my big chocolate lab decided to join me. Calvin! He just swam away with a tennis ball in his mouth. It still was pretty nice. The best part – the pool of course. And the DE filter system that made that pool so clean and pretty. So when I came across this blog post on DE swim pool filters, I had to repost it!

There’s some bad information going around right now about how much water is wasted with diatomaceous earth (DE) filter systems through backwashing. And it’s simply not true. All you need to do is stop backwashing and manually clean your filter instead, according to your filter manufacturer's instructions. It’s easy to do and you can still continue to use the best filter aid for swim pools – DE.
