I currently have an old DE filter from Hayward, and many of the parts are no longer available, so with this latest breakdown, it's time to get a replacement. Several questions:
1 - I've read about the differences between the 3 types -- tell me what you have and WHY you like it (or what you don't). Which is the cheapest to maintain? Least work? Most work? I know DE does the best filtering job.
2 - From whom do I purchase & get installation? Local pool company or Leslies? Assuming pricing is similar....
3 - Do I need to replace the valve at the same time? I have a multi-port valve currently.
4 - Is there anywhere that reviews the performance/quality of various filters? What manufacturer would you recommend?
Thanks all!
