As always, this forum is a fabulous source of information.

When I was refering to "seems to be easier to maintain", I meant that it appears easier to service the D.E. filter/tank than to take off the valve head, cover the standpipe, remove from or dump sand into the old filter.

I will consider all of your suggestions, though.



Wish me luck.

Again, thankyou.
Haven't dumped the sand yet and this is the 6th season so far--haven't moved the filter much either in those years!
