## Questions & Answers

**Q: I received Big splash perlite instead. Is this the same or a mistake?**
A: Me too just opened the box cannot find any info on line about big splash pearlite nor if this version of the  product is cheaper than the product advertised and that I paid for.

**Q: scoops for backwash 60 sq ft filter ?**
A: For my QUAD DE60 filter, I use 5 1lb scoops.  I place 5 scoops of DE in a 5-gallon bucket and add water to make a slurry and dump it into the strainer opening and use the hose to flush water and DE so it doesn't clump

**Q: What volume (in cups quarts or liters, not weight or "coffee cans") are you supposed to use per sq ft of filter?**
A: I think it depends on your filter.  Mine needs 10 scoops of the 1 lb size scoop but your filter company would be a better place to look.

**Q: What size are the perlite granules (mesh) used in this?**
A: Its very fine power not granules
