My goodness, so far I stink at this! I hope saving a couple of hundred dollars to do this myself doesn't cost me in the long run!
Question first: After running the filter for 2 hours with no DE, then for 18 hours (not straight, over 2 days) with 7.5 qts instead of 10 qts, do I just add the additional 2.5 qts in the morning, or do I need to break the thing down again, and start over........
How I ended up with the question:
So after I originally cleaned the grid and reassembled, I added 5 scoops of DE to the skimmer. But now I realize that that is what the PB told me to do after a backwash. They never said what to do after I cleaned the filter. I looked on the bag which said for the Jandy 48 to add 10 qts. Not knowing what the scoop was the PB provided me with I filled it up with water. 6 cups. Which I believe is 1.5 quarts. So 5 scoops at 1.5 qts it seems I only added 7.5 qts to the filter. So per the bag I'm short 2.5 qts. Back to the question, after running the filter for 2 hours with no DE, then for 18 hours with 7.5 qts instead of 10 qts, do I just add the additional 2.5 qts in the morning, or do I need to break the thing down again, and start over........
Sorry for the math equation, thanks for yall's expertise.
