Recently purchased a new home and the pool came with it.
21 foot round above ground in good shape.
However, I have always had a sand filter. With an adjustable level for backwash, filter etc.
This house came with a Hayward Perflex DE Filter and I am so out of my element. The "bump" handle (what the heck?), the cancer dust I have to scoop in the filter, the lack of an easy backwash option, the DE that comes out when I backwash half the time.
Just horrible.
Any suggestions? Should I just go buy a sand filter so I can get back to normal?
