    Don, yes! there is one 'short' grid that has to be under the outflow pipe. The other 7 can be put in whichever way they fit, it can be a bit of a PITA to get the top back on the grids if everything isn't 'just right'.

    Sounds like you put it back together correctly (no DE blowing back into the pool)

    I'm assuming the short grid was the straight one, it was the only one that would fit in the middle. The pool was cloudy upon open but seems to be clearing up after 2 good vacum's. Thanks for confirming the other 7 go where ever they fit. I'll keep an eye on the filtration.
