What’s the fix? Just keep bumping it? We are cloudy and green

What would cause a DE filter to quickly lose suction power? Normal right after regenerating/pumping as well as right after adding new DE then loses suction. Pump seems to be working fine. Any thoughts??? It always works perfectly:(.

We we are loving our new Hayward DE filter! After only 3 days of filtering we FINALLY have crystal clear water. Easy to clean, too. Hope it keeps it up.

After a little more research I discovered that we did not need the largest Hayward Perflex DE filter and were able to comfortably go with the 50 series. It arrived today and we will be tackling and install tomorrow afternoon once the base arrives. Any Hayward Perflex 50 guidance out there is...

Water today is still in the same shape. Blue and cloudy. We are ready to replace our filter system. We are looking at a Hayward Perflex DE pool filter. Can someone advise me if using our current one horsepower pump with a new filter is a good idea or not? I guess the main question is is there...

Our filter system and pump seem to be working perfectly but we changed it out just to rule it out in regards to the sand. We have done that today...

That water looks amazing!!!

The link on the DE filter was close enough to make it work, but it sold:(. I’m so bummed that it’s been such a pain this year and I REFUSE to go to the pool store, so I’ve been researching DE filters. I’m going to keep going with adding DE to our sand filter, but curious from anyone that’s...

Is there a way to know for sure that it will work with my pump?
