When To Use This
Pro Tip
Always create a slurry in a bucket with pool water before pouring D.E. into the skimmer to prevent dry powder caking in your suction plumbing.
Common Questions & Instructions
How much diatomaceous earth does this orange D.E. scoop hold?
The Super-Pro 25600-006-000 scoop is calibrated by industry standard to hold exactly 1 pound of dry diatomaceous earth (D.E.) powder when level, or approximately 0.5 pounds of alternative cellulose fiber media.
How many scoops of D.E. powder should I add after backwashing my filter?
After a standard backwash, add roughly 80% of your filter's rated capacity through the skimmer (for example, a 48 sq. ft. filter requiring 4.8 lbs initially will need about 4 level scoops after backwashing).
Is this scoop compatible with alternative filter media like cellulose fiber or Perlite?
Yes, it safely handles all powdered pool filter media, though you should refer to manufacturer volumetric equivalency ratios, as cellulose fibers weigh less per unit volume than traditional D.E.
