I know you can add a bit of DE to sand filters. Is there any reason I couldn't add DE to a cartridge filter? Would it make it more efficient? Would it ruin the cartridge? With no backwash valve, would I have to clean the filter as I normally do by removing it, washing it out and then adding back DE?
I've been saving my pennies to buy a bigger better filter and I'm down to either the big Pentair Quad DE 100 Filter and the Pentair Clean & Clear Plus Filter CCP520. If I can add DE to the CCP520, I'll do that and have the best of both worlds.
