Newbie needs help. Need a Plan Of Attack To Get This Pool Open

[waste]

Null, hi again, your EC65 doesn't have grids, you've got 'fingers' (little tubes to collect the DE on) and you can't backwash because you don't have a 'multiport'. I'm going to end this here, for now while I look up a couple of posts to direct you to, I'll either 'edit' this post or do another when I get the linking info I need.
EDIT* Here's the links (fingers crossed) http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthread.php?t=317, which is a discussion of EC filters. And here (hopefully) is how to vac to waste (ie bypass a multiportless filter) http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthread.php?t=1612. Hopefully you'll be able to cull some useful info from them
