So this may have been a bold attempt but no good deed goes unpunished....
I figured out how to close/open my own sand filter pool no problem and have been doing it for years..
However my aunt decided to have me come by and do her DE filter pool which I gave her the disclaimer that I might miss an extra step.
When I closed it last year I blew the lines out no problem, unhooked the pump and had the water drain out.
What I couldn't find at the time due to limited research was the drain plug on the actual filter unit (Pentair fnsp 48). So there may (probably) have been water in there all winter...oops.
How much damage control should I be expecting if I left water in there all winter? and for opening a DE filter pool should I be expecting to open the filter and examine all the grids/manifold?
Thanks, and hopefully I wont be posting another thread for any other problems...
