Hello everyone! Just an update...going to get my DE this evening and try it out ASAP. I've been keeping tabs in the skimmer and my skimmer sock/knee high has been catching a ton of little debris. I know I shouldn't shock to avoid staining, but the tabs in the basket have been keeping a chlorine level greater than 5 in the pool...However, I had checked the eye of the return for slime and found an orange stain on the actual eye (this was the day after I posted here, so I guess I already had staining issues). I was just wondering if anybody had a guess as to how serious of a staining problem I might have from keeping the chlorine high these last few days?
Also wanted to let ya'll know that I ordered a K-2006 test kit! Can't wait for it to get here! I'll post again after I try out the DE. Thanks again for all of your help!!! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
