Swimming Pool Diatomaceous Earth Application Tips • Apply approximately 1 pound diatomaceous earth per 10 square feet. ◦◦ Example a 60 square foot pool would require 6 lbs diatomaceous earth. • Measure the required diatomaceous earth amount, mix in a pail of water to create a slurry, then feed it into the filter via addition to the pool skimmer. Always review filter manufacturer’s instructions. • Record pressure after diatomaceous earth has been applied to the filter. When the pressure increases 8 – 10 pounds above this baseline, then it is time to clean the filter. • Diatomaceous earth filters should be cleaned at least once per year. To clean the filter, turn the pump off, drain the filter, remove the filter, hose off the grids, and then reassemble and apply fresh diatomaceous earth.
