Sand vs Cartridge filter

[Poconos]

If your pool ever gets out of control and you have to filter a bunch of junk, a sand filter shines. It can filter a bunch of junk fast and with a simple, quick backwash it's gone. The DE trick does work but you only add it after you've filtered the bigger crud.

Great replies, but I am not familiar with DE? I did however want to add to this post because I know in the beginning of the season when I super chlorinate the pool with Cal Hypo the pool usually always turns dark brown. I filter it overnight with my sandfilter and it is crystal clear in the morning. Just backwash and your done and that is some brown backwash at that!
