D.E. Filters - clean
them thoroughly
For D.E. filter owners
it is a good practice for you to clean the filter grids
thoroughly mid season. Opening the filter and removing the
entire grid assembly and hosing off all the D.E. from the
grids is a wise move. During regular backwashing you get
about 80% of the D.E. out, so if 20% is left that can add up
to a lot of extra D.E. in your filter. With too much D.E.
in the filter the grids can bridge together, and cause high
filter pressure, and poor filtration.
