Sand Helper - Zeo Sand

[rmiller111]

Thanks, and after posting the thread, I logged out and was able to browse all the forums again and saw some threads regarding the Zeo sand. Glad I didn't buy any.

Also, I won't plan on replacing the sand this year, and as I mentioned my water is very clear again. I added 2 gallons of 10% and about 3 lbs of some dichlor shock I've been sitting on for a few years, I usually don't use it as it has too much stabilizer, but since I just refilled the pool, I figured it wouldn't hurt. 10 hours of filtering later, the water was clear.

I've been using a drop based kit for 3 years and my results were good. I tested while green to see if the water was way off, but it looked good, so I was pretty confident it would clear up, and it did.

FC - 15
CC - 1
Alk - 100
ph - 7.4

Thanks,

What's your CYA level? That's one of the MOST critical measurements!

Yes, I understand the relationship. I had just filled the pool with about 15000 gals of water, and I had closed it with about 60 CYA, so I know that the CYA was probably low. I'll be checking that soon.

Again, my water is sparkly clear it was after just a few hours, I've used the information here for years and have never had a problem. My question was related to 5 year old sand vs. zeo and the use of "Sand Helper," not about the water numbers.

Thanks again, but this thread can probably be closed.

Just to make an additional comment...I've used both sand and zeo over the last several years, and I really don't find any difference between the two when it comes to filtering quality.
