There are different types of filters for pools. We have one that has grids in a large tank that the diatemaceous earth sticks to and filters very fine things out of the pool. My daughter's pool has a cylinder filter that she removes, cleans and replaces as needed. So if you don't have a diatemaceous earth filter, then you can't use this in your pool filter. And after reading several posts and site information, this is not the diatemaceous earth powder for fleas and in my opinion can be harmful to pets if used in the yard.
