My filter was working fine. Then backwashed and cleaned it thoroughly. I added DE through the skimmer, and it all ended up back in the pool. After a couple days of running the filter, I opened it up there is basically no DE on the filter.
Is replacing the filter grid the only possibility? (the grids are about $400 to $600) to replace. Would I be better off replacing the entire filter, given that my system is 15+ years old? (new filter with install would cost about $1,000).
I have the Sta-Rite system:3 filter. One of the "edges" is completely split - not sure if that is torn, or is that the beginning/end of the filter material.
I'd really appreciate some advice/help? Thanks!
