--- Quote ---All:  Thanks again for all the info.  In the last 15 yrs, I have never tested the CYA in the pool.  I always heard that backwashing and partial fall draining would keep stabilizer where it needs to be.

Amazing what you can learn here.

Me and you both.   ;)

After reading a lot of threads on poolforum.com, I ordered a Hayward Perflex EC65A filter.  The more I read, the more I saw that DE filter owners didn't regret their choice. Now, on to rehab the rest of the pool.
 

Thanks again.

I personally hate my DE filter!  Changing over to a sand filter with zeobrite instead of sand- less back washing and filters down to 3 microns.

I think this is the route I would go if I wasn't happy with my filter.  There also seems to be issues with disposing of old DE.

Bonibelle:
Tony, what is the problem with old DE? I flush mine into the ground and it seems to disapear after a rain. Is that a bad thing?
My neighbors switched to sand and after watching them backwash and haul 50 bags of sand, I will stick with my DE. Especially since I have never had problems with it and I have the routine down to an art.
