Well, choice of filters really falls into the category of opinion....Been looking into possibly changing out my pool filter as well. From what I read, sand or DE filters are the best choice? Is this true? I read that they're both better than element simply for the cost and ease of cleaning? The article I read actually recommended sand over DE. What's your take on this?

Are you absolutely certain your filter is a cartridge type?
That looks EXACTLY like a Sta-Rite S8S70 sand filter. (I had one at my old house)
Those filters work very well and require no maintenance other than occasional back washing.
If it were me, I'd just keep that one.
The capped off 2" line is for the pressure side cleaner (to the cleaner) whose pump was robbed along with the heater and cell. You can see in the picture of a shadow where the pump used to sit and a capped off tee on the return just before it goes into the ground (suction to the cleaner pump). Keep the cleaner you have and I would just buy a new pump for the cleaner and get it working. Heater i don' t think is a critical need at the moment. Perhaps trying a bubble cover this spring will keep enough heat for you.

You buy a square cover large enough to cover the entire pool and then cut it with a pair of heavy shears to exactly fit your layout.

The problem is the cleaner just is always tangled and on its side it has plenty of pressure.

That System 3 tank is used for all three applications (Modular Media). Hence the name System 3. It can accommodate all three media types, with conversion kit(s) of course.
Found this video, that thing looks very impressive. Is this exactly what you have?

Well, that was embarrassing!!
Pool cleaner is good, don't change anything there. Although something did happen on the other end of the pad. A pump was definitely removed and its discharge was tee-ed into the return of the pump next to it. Can you see this?
Probably two separate water features are now combined and run off one pump. Capped off line is err was suction line for the missing pump.
Old owner only needs a filter to complete his equipment at his new house, because his old owner stole ALL the equipment.
