Re: What is in my water ?! New Pump and Filter arrived. New one is very quiet compared to old one. I do have a couple questions. I ended up getting the Hayward EC 50 system, which reminds me that I have to setup the new stuff in my signature. I have three leaks that I cannot stop. First...

Re: What is in my water ?!: Now What? In that case. Reccomendations for a filter type if I upgrade? I am liking DE, for the simple reason that when added, the jump in efficiency is incredible for my sand filter. I can also get a new properly sized pump and filter for a reasonable price.
