Taking the grids out of the DE filter would definitely cause a reduction in pressure, just like removing a cartridge from a cartridge filter. By doing that you're not actually filtering any water. What do the DE grids look like? When is the last time that you cleaned them out and how did...

Hi everyone, Just filled our new pool this past Wednesday. I'm currently keeping up with the directions on the new PebbleSheen finish, but have some questions for the not-too-distant future when I start taking over the regular maintenance and chemistry. 1. My PB uses Natural Chemistry's...
