Re: So I need a new filter...
Can't comment on the filter itself but the DE does work. Several of us have been using it for years. It does catch fine stuff and obviously you'll have to backwash more often under dirty or dusty conditions but it is cheap. I don't use it all the time, usually only when I get a bunch of pollen or dust on the bottom. Typically when I open in the spring and during the pollen season.
Also, sorry to hear about your freeze damage. Here in the northeast we have another concern....collapsing roofs. We got a bunch of snow, then rain/sleet and now things are a block of ice so nothing can be shoveled off. Just hoping for the best. Of course when it starts to melt there will be a lot of ice daming and roof leaks too. I wish physics was different.....contraction instead of expansion when freezing.
