After 22 years of owning a pool with a Hayward cartridge filter, I now own a pool with a Hayward DE3620 filter. Did my first backwash, rinse this evening.
Is it just me, or is this a huge PITA?
I found the manual online, which calls for 4.5lbs of DE powder. After reading horror stories, I added about 3.5lbs. When backwashing, I let enough water out that I needed to add water to the pool for it to properly prime. Is this normal?
Missing the ease of hosing off the cartridge already. How often do you guys do this with your DE filters?
