wow! All summer JimK? That's great! I am going to go with the DE. I've had it before and I like the clarity of the water.....and after reading PoolDocs input and seeing a few youtube videos, the cartridge filter seems like it will be a big PITA to me. Sometimes the bear you know.......

so last question.....
Do you think I am fine with the tristar vs or upgrade to the ecostar vs for +$200?


thank you all for such valuable help!
