I can't tell you what the difference is, but I use swimming pool DE in my
vortex filter and it works just fine. I'm gonna guess that the expensive
Vortex stuff is more uniform in size and has less dust. But the dust just
gets trapped in the filter like any other particulates, so what does it
matter?
