Morning everyone and happy coming swim season!
I am going to breakdown and clean my DE Pentair FNS Plus 60 today for the first time on my own. I have had assistance with pool guys in the past, but I realize it is pretty simple.
I have a question that I can't find online or through the forum searches:
Lets assume the cleaning is done, everything is reassembled, and the pump is flowing with new DE coated on the grids.
If I were to run into a problem as far as leaking O-rings or any situation where I would have to stop the pump and open the filter again just to inspect something...
does that mess with the DE distribution or require recharging the DE?
Meaning, can you just open a DE filter at any point and not cause disruption to the DE on the grids and simply slap the top back on?
Thanks!
Jake
