DTE Sand Filter Pool Maintenance
I have a in-ground pool (15000 gallons) with a DTE Sand Filter. It seems like all pool places contradict each other.
1) Should I add the dte powder to the skimmer as I’m back-flushing or vise versa? I know the sacks go inside out when you back-flush. When I added when it’s regularly on, I can see the power all over the pool floor afterward.
2) Should I leave the pump on for 24 hours? The latest pool store said every time we shout the pump off we should back-flush it. I’d rather run it for 12 hours a day, not 24.

1)you should NEVER ad D.E. powder to skimmer while backwashing it would go inside the grids and clog them…you add powder to skimmer with the valve in filter mode
2)I do not know why you need to run pump 24 hours and why you have to backwash filter every time you shut it off unless you have a green pool
you should consider a filter like this much easier: http://bestpoolcleaner.org
