    Cracked filter lid

    I live in Sanger, TX. I just replaced my Pentair 60 DE filter with a cartridge. If you want my old filter for parts, the grids are four years old and are still good. Free, if you want it.

    Pentair CCP Filter lifespan (actual filter not cartridges)

    I have the Pentair DE filter which has the same shell. It is 29 years old. I am replacing it to go to a Pentair cartridge filter only because I dislike messing around with DE. The filter housing is still good.

    Pentair EC-160332. Clean & Clear 520

    There are not that many reviews for the Crystal Water Filter, so it was easy to see. I ordered the Pentair. Clean & Clear. My existing filter is a 25 year old Pentair DE, so I know what to expect.

    Pentair EC-160332. Clean & Clear 520

    Jim, the reviews that I have seen for the Crystal Water are mixed. Some said that the housing cracked. I don’t know if it is common or if they addressed the issue. It is an attractive price if it holds up.

    Pentair EC-160332. Clean & Clear 520

    Does anyone have experience with this filter. One person posted a review and said it has a single filter. It is taller than the normal Clean & clear that we are accustomed to. It will take a plumbing change but that was going to happen anyway.

    Chemical levels for new plaster pool

    The lot number. Year is 2023. Day 341 is the 341st day of the year, which is December 7th. You need chlorine and you will be using it quickly so I would buy it.

    A bonding question I can't find the answer to

    Insulated or bare. Either is acceptable by code, but bare wire makes it easier to visually see a defect.

    Cleaning DE filter

    I would backwash if I did not have an hour to clean it right. Or if it was cold outside. Otherwise, I rather disassemble and know it is clean. It also gives me the opportunity to examine the parts inside the filter. This year I cleaned the filter three times; in the spring, summer and...

    Cleaning DE filter

    I cleaned my filter today. Took an hour including complete disassembly and lube of the O rings. I really dislike the mess of the DE. I never backwash, just disassemble and clean. Am I alone in disliking the mess? I am thinking of changing to a cartridge filter. What do others that made...

    Considering a Variable Speed Pump

    When I purchased my home in January the single speed pump ran six hours a day. It is the only thing on the meter. The electric bill was $90 for a month. I replaced the pump with a Pentair Intelliflo. It runs 12 hours a day at 1400 rpm and two hours at 1800. My most recent bill was $29 with...
