Lenny, sorry about the delay! I actually answered you last week but my wife came in and used the computer while I was doing it ( I thought I had hit "post", but apparently hadn't - again, sorry).
With 2 suctions going, you have a plug of DE laden water comming through 1 and an equal amount of non-DE water comming through the other. This ~ equates to doing the slurry (DE mixed with water joining with plain water). I know for a fact that this evenly coats the grids, or fingers, because I've had reason to open a number of them almost as soon as the DE has been added and they have always had a good, even coating.
