    Default Container to Clean DE Grids

    Anyone have a suggestion for a container to clean DE grids in?
    Tried a garbage can last time but it tipped over, not good when cleaning with Muritac Acid. Thinking of something plastic, shallow and no top that I can lay on the ground. Heyward Pro Grid DE 7220. Thanks

    How about a mortar mixing tub? They are flat and can resist the aggressive corrosive action of the concrete's lime.

    Don, you could get one of the plastic storage containers from Wallyworld, etc.

    If you leave the grids in the manifold, you'd have to turn the unit to soak the other 1/2, if you just soak the grids, you could do all 8 at once

    Please remember to do a degreasing soak on the grids BEFORE dipping them in acid!!

    Have a great pool season!
