@agthorn I think they meant "backwashing" once a month, not this process. We have this done once a year

If you don't want to disassemble the plumbed fittings on the drain of the filter, you can use a ShopVac to suction all silt, pebbles, water from bottom of filter. Be sure to thoroughly clean all O-rings as well as surfaces surrounding O-rings. Use a lot of water and a clean rag to remove all silt from O-ring areas. Ensure all O-rings are in good shape, not torn, and add plenty of petroleum jelly to all O-rings. My 1st time to clean DE filter took one hour. Thanks Leslies!!!!!

Very good tutorial - thank you Leslies! Dismantling the manifold and cartridge assembly is easy, but reassembly is tougher. Take notice how cartridges fit into the top & bottom assembly. Easiest for me was to put the tops of cartridges back into place first, allowing the top assembly piece to "guide" the exact placement of the cartridges. My assembly has a plastic nipple with a screen on top for the release valve - BE CAREFUL not to break it. Use 2x4's under workspace...

Dismantling the manifold and reassembling it is no small task .... I can't imagine doing this monthly. I have to assume that hosing down the filter assembly without dismantling the entire manifold could simplify this process, reducing the full dismantling to once or twice a year .... thoughts?

@saltynuts916 Hmmm, interesting. Like asbestos I suppose.

@cliffcox66 When you breathe it in it can be unsafe, especially to young kids

@saltynuts916 Just curious, why is DE dangerous to human health?

We just cleaned ours and it was pretty easy. Our lid went back on very nicely. This video helped alot.

@HeWhoRunsWScissors Yes DE is very dangerous to us overtime. There are many safe alternatives to DE, such as the end of this video showed. I work in a pool store and our alternative we sell is called The Filter Fiber Stuff by a company called Jack's Magic. It is used the same way as DE, just safer (:
