Cleaning DE Filter

[Ovilla Pool]

Well, it was disassembled, they are surprisingly simple but surprisingly difficult to reassemble...ha. The grids were a mess, totally compacted with old DE, it was an inch thick on several of the panels. They were cleaned and reloaded with DE but they were too far gone, had to order a new set of panels. They should be here tomorrow so I will let you know how it goes.

The new panels from Pleatco work great, loaded with about 8-10lbs of DE and replaced the air bleed/guage on top of the filter and it works like new. The pool water is sparkling clean.
