Zeolite is an alternate media for sand filters. Whatever you
would normally add for sand to your filter, you would add half that
amount of Zeolite. For example, 50 lbs of Zeolite is equivalent to
100 lbs of sand. Zeolite filters down a finer particle than sand
making it a more efficient media. When you first install sand or
Zeolite into your filter, start the system on "backwash" position to
eliminate any fine dust that might get from the media into your
pool.
If you're not sure what size your filter is and the
manufacturer's sticker is still legible and on the side of your
filter, the sand requirements are usually posted in this area.
