    I have now used the CF for several weeks and it works exceedingly well. I ordered a 50 lb. bag from rec supply so it was much cheaper than the local pool store!

    It has been over 6 months with CF and I am very happy with it. Not only does it seem to filter smaller particles than the de, but the cleaning of the filter is much easier (wash off the grids with a hose with no need to disassemble).

    So how about your backwash rate? Do you feel you had to do more? It was suggested that initially you would, but the rate would decrease as more of the stuff DE missed was removed. Did you experience that?

    Chuck:

    My backwash rate really did not change a bit. My water clarity is superb with a real sparkle. However, I did raise by borate level to 50 ppm for the first time so maybe that helps with the sparkle!
