It doesn't leave any white spot or anything to speak of and a minute with a garden hose takes care of the brownish backwash material that is visible. Been doing that for 10 years with no problems. You are an IDIOT!! 10 years of toxic pool DE is harmful to humans, wildlife, and pets. It is NOT untreated DE which is completely safe for human consumption in water, and has been used for decades to control hard shelled pests [roaches, ants, spiders, etc] in agriculture, poultry and beef ranches. Pool DE that was left all over my property and that of most of my Los Angeles neighbors contributed to our rabbits cancer, the neighbors' rabbits epilepsy, and untold health risks to the birds, hawks, and small animals that are struggling to stay alive and thrive amidst LA's many pollutants. Pool DE is NOT to be breathed or allowed to sit on the skin of any living being! Safe disposal is ESSENTIAL and is not taken seriously enough by pool owners. Do some research before you ASSume your 10 year old solution is harmless.... -- |

Heat rounds off the sharp edges of the fossil used in the pool system. Natural DE fossils from the earth and edible when cleaned. Food grade DE still has sharp edges. Used in livestock food to kill parasites. You can eat it, too. I can understand people from LA lack some research. Idiots! Rabbits got cancer from pool DE? Got a link... I'm teachable. Rabbit epilepsy? I need a source. |

FlashNewsgroups.cum has some strange individuals. Mostly talk or reply to threads many years old. The guy talks like he is an expert in rabbit epilepsy and rabbit cancer. Fiddy cents, he won't be back!! Oh, I'm not worried, btw. It's his lie so let him tell it anyway he likes |

So, if you're that worried about the DE, better stay out of the pool too. The main danger from DE is if you're dumb enough to breath in the fine particulates when it's dry and coming out of the bag. Fine sand, cement, etc have the same effect. If you pump DE out into your yard when backwashing, it's no more likely to harm anyone than DE that's never been to a pool. I've been pumping it onto the lawn here, as does everybody else that I know. They sell DE to mix with soil to improve it. And if what's in the pool water is the problem, then instead of worrying about what's in the few pounds of DE, better worry about what's in the thousands of gallons that are routinely pumped out onto lawns, into sewers, etc. How exactly do the loons in LA capture the DE that comes out when you backwash? |
