Can it be used in pool filters?

It can be used in pools. I just saw an internet ad in a Houston hardware-lumber store. I bought the 50 lb bag from this online seller. It's about half the cost for what the retailer sells it and it lasts a lifetime if stored away from moisture. I give it away to friends and family always with the disclaimer not to let children or pets inhale.

I think you can use it in pool filters. As I was researching this product I did see reference to that. Please check the ratings listed on amazon. I don't think you need to use food grade in pool filters but do use food grade only for household or yard use.

I would not recommend it to be used in water or you may get a paste from it. It is very fine powder and I am not sure how it would work in a pool filter

I honestly don't know. But after buying the stuff, spending so much money on it and it didn't kill the bed bugs I threw it away. What a complete waste of money.

I believe so,,,,i have a 10,000 gallon 18x30 above ground pool and this filter works great for me.

I don't think so. This filter is used for removing chlorine. For carbonates/bicarbonates an activated carbon-based filter system is needed. You can also boil hard water to precipitate out carbonates if you don't mind them normally but don't want them other times.

I added to pool filter basket before it completely dissolved. No adverse affects that I know of. If poured into the pool directly, it will probably sit on the bottom and can be vacuumed into the filter. I am no expert. Good luck!!

Yes it can but, you will need to pick up an adapter the set up the filter........In my opinion not worth the effort

I don't see why not, however, to be on the safe side I would consult a regular pool dealer. The tablets are standard chlorine tablets, same as used in any pool. Our pool is a vinyl lined pool and about the only thing that may happen is it could cause some fading over time. We use the skimmer to add the chlorine tablets but if your pool does not have one, a floating type chlorine tablet dispenser would also work. Hope that helps.

Yes it can; but don't waste your money on this item. It did nothing for my pool. Followed instructions fully and no success.

I have used mine in a therapure filter based on my experience it should be okay to try it. Make sure the builb is not touching any part of the unit. Keep an eye on it for the first 24 hours.

I've never used that particular cartridge, but based on the specs it would appear you could if you use the cartridge inside your existing Hayward (or equivalent) cartridge filter.

No ..it filters it..I suppose you could connect a hose to the discharge pipe and put it thru a hose in the sun..then run it back to your pool..

I would think so. Usually the parts all all the same size even if the pool is big or small. I agree you have to have a way to stop water flow when changing the filter.

I don't think it will damage anything, just its filter function will be blocked. This PoolSkim is the best pool accessory I've used.

I would have to see how it is set up to be sure, However; it is really simple. Instead of your filter coming out of the pool and going strait back in the hoses come out of the pool to your existing filter from there it goes into the salt water system them back into the pool. As long as the hose connections are the same there should be no reason it should not work. The hoses on my pool are just standard 1 inch plastic hoses. My pool is an intex, so it's completely compatible.

I do not think this particular filter will work for that size pool capacity (ours is 15000-1800);I would look for a larger rated model,possibly from the same manufacturer ,but mind the previous reviews regarding BAD PACKAGING PRACTICES!(ours works well but we had an AWFUL TIME, 3 tries, to get one that wasn't cracked or missing parts) The units themselves worked fine when installed

Sure it will. The dinky little cartridge filter didn't do half the job this one does. If you buy it make sure you get a good grade of pool filter sand. I used the fine stuff and it means requiring backwashing every few days but it's way less trouble than the cartridge filter.

It depends on which pool filter that you have. I had to upgrade my filter to the SandPro 75 to efficiently keep my pool in shape. Everything that I purchased in this kit broke the first season.
