Using diatomaceous earth (DE) in a saltwater generator pool is generally not recommended. DE can clog up the filter system, potentially leading to reduced water flow and efficiency. Instead, consider using a compatible filter media specifically designed for saltwater systems to maintain optimal performance and water clarity.
