    Just an FYI - if you use a heat gun on the tiger flex, warm it up some, crank the barbed connector tighter by a little bit, your leaks should disappear, worked on every one of my leaks except those that would be coming from where teh connector screws onto the equipment - teflon tape fixes those.

    Thanks for the input. It really is a 75 DE. And so far it's cleaning like a champ. But then, I guess it oughta.

    I'm going to wait until the DE needs servicing, probably a couple more weeks and take the opportunity to install ball valves and work on those leaks.

    Now, if I could just keep the leaves ON the trees and OUT of my pool....
