HELP! DE in pool

[CToon]

hi gelat ,

It may take a few days , but it will settle out and then you can vacuum it .

denanbob ,

I have had powder return to the pool because of gasket leak , there may be a mechanical reason. Since i dont know your filter , Im only guessing ,but 4 pounds doesnt seem too much.

I had that problem, not because I poured it in but because I had a hole in one of my grids and it spit DE into the pool. Just run the filter and then vacum the DE that settles to the bottom. It should clear up soon. You may need to vacum more than once depending upon how much DE you dumped in.

My husband added DE to the pool the very first time we backwashed. It was horrible! It did clear up. We ran the pump for a day or so and brushed it towards the drain. Honestly, it cleared up much faster than I thought it would.
