    You might also be able to find DE at places like Wal-Mart, hardware stores, or mega lumber yards that caries pool supplies. And of course on-line pool supply retailers.

    You can get DE at Lowes or home depot. It only comes in a big box, so don't
    look eye-level, it will be on the bottom. I got AquaChem from Lowe's for $12

    Can this be done on a DE pool too? My neighbor has one and has trouble with cloudiness this year. I can borrow some of their DE

    Hmmm. It seems this thread has taken off chasing DE to get the ????? out of the pool.

    After algae, probably the most common cause of "cloudy" water is high pH

    I suggest you find a method to accurately confirm your pH and, if it's high, bring it down to 7.2 and keep it there.
