I tried doing a quicker backwash on this one to see how well it clean and what it filled up
After the usual, seven scoops a little bit of DE came out the return port
So I think six scoops would be sufficient for a quicker backwash

I tried cleaning the filters inside the chamber, but it was more difficult than I expected
Next time rinse off most of the filter and then take it out to finish cleaning and then run the pump with a top off to get the last bit out of the backwash

Used HD weld to patch holes inside filter and installed drain pan under filter
The leaks appear to be gone from the filter but now I have new leaks where the filter joins the multi port
Also a small leak in the P-trap
I think all the leaks were due to it not sitting in properly
Newly found yeah yeah Jacuzzi jet motor. Just a bad O-ring.
