Does Zeolite help in removing iron from the water?

Well said, Kurt. I wouldn't be surprised if I don't try it myself IF I ever change my sand. Hopefully, it will outlast me.

I particulary liked your point on filter size and pump-filter relationship. I believe my water is so clear because I was lucky enough to catch on to this (from this forum) and purchased a really big filter (950 lbs) and an adequate pump.

In fact, If I think about it, I'm not so much a sand advocate as I am a sizing advocate.

We all frequently try to make our pools more complex than they need to be and we all hope to find that "magic bullet" (interestingly, the pool store always has one of those bullets...whatever your problem is).

It's not a bad idea to review Ben's premise when he started teaching all of us.......keep it simple.

Thank you all for your replies. It looks a little like 50/50, so the decision is not yet made.
