Thank you and one more question:

the manual says only clean when psi goes up but I thought I had read folks on here clean every one to 2 months??? advice?

Generally you clean when the psi increases whatever the manufacturer recommends over your starting pressure. For mine it's 10 psi.

I used to have to clean my filter constantly. Now that I'm able to stay ahead of my pool, I've only had to clean it once this season, this past weekend, and if I had been using skimmer socks to catch the cotton wood, I probably wouldn't have had to clean it all year.
