8. filter aid the diatomaceous earth is mixed with water to form a slurry for filter precoat This mixture is introduced into the filter system by means of a slurry pot or by pouring directly into the surface skimmer with the pump running The minute diatoms are deposited on the outer surface of the filter elements forming a strawpile layer or cake by interlacing and overlapping and thus providing countless microscopic channels which entrap suspended impurities but allow clear water to pass through without clogging 4 We recommend the use of D E which is sold and labeled for use with swimming pools and spas These grades of D E typically have a median particle size of 34 microns which is ideal for most applications AWARNING Failure to operate your filter system or inadequate filtration can cause poor water clarity obstruction visibility in your pool and can allow diving in shallow pool area or diving into or on top of obscured objects which can cause serious bodily injury or drowning C FILTER PRECOATING INSTRUCTION 1 Mix the Diatomaceous Earth in a pail of water to form a slurry then pour the mixture directly into the surface skimmer with the pump running Insure that the right quantity of D E is used as shown in the table P N 075122 2 Diatomaceous Earth D E Precoat Requirements Filter Model By Weight Number Pounds 1 8 2 7 3 6 4 5 5 4 2 4 3 6 4 8 6 0 7 2 By Weight 1 lb of D E per 10 sa ft
