So, i backwashed my filter for the first time last weekend on my own. Before the pool cleaning folks were taking care of it.
Once I backwashed and put more DE in I started to notice DE was being blown back into the pool and the Robot was picking it up over the next couple of days.
Today I took it apart and pulled the grid assembly and washed them off with the hose. They had very little DE on them but since its my first clean It's a guess.
After adding more DE I started to see lots of DE coming out of my return jet and the bottom of the pool has it all over now.
The grids looked okay with no visible tears from what I could see, but I did not dis-assemble as I was limited on time. The Manifold looks good except the air relief hose is missing the grid cover looks like it degraded away.
Wondering if I should order a set of grids or a full assembly to be safe. Previous owner had no info on maintenance or replacement date other than giving me a manual for the filter.
Few questions: what is difference between the FNS and FNS plus parts wise?
Was looking at this on Amazon but it says its for a plus

I did find the original part number from manual for an assembly and it's about $400.
Thanks for the help on this.
