    Default DE Fillter....

    I back washed my pool and forgot to add DE before the timer turned it on. It ran for about 4 hours before I realized my mistake and added the normal amount.

    Could I have damaged anything?

    This brings up the question, what damage might occur if you run a DE filter without DE? I know my DE filter manual warns about running it without DE, but I've never read anything that says what kind of damage might occur?
