mplekker Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hi everyone. Maybe a stupid question, but I have never operated a DE filter before...I cleaned it out, and now it is ready to go...So I read I have to mix the DE until it looks like milk. Then where do I put it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Just put it in the skimmer basket and it will be sucked down into the filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
