I would rate this video set as one of the best. I have watched many and I like your attention to detail. You can tell that you were a servicemen. Thanks for the videos and your service.
I have watched a lot of you tube video about cleaning and maintenance . Your video is the best and easy to understand, very detailed info . Now i can do this myself. Thank you
Thank you very much for the easy to understand tutorial. The money I was going to pay the pool guy, can now be sent to my grandson in college. I am 66yrs and Pops is 72yrs. We cleaned the grids with ease. We gained a wealth of knowledge. Thanks.
Hey! I really enjoyed your video as a first time pool owner needing to clean a DE4820. Before opening the dump cap, should the setting on the multi port valve be set to closed?
At 4 minutes 7 seconds when you are backwashing why is water coming out of the system? I thought the closed system wasn’t supposed to leak at all. Thank you for your consideration.
Most people do this based on a pressure rise as measured when the filter is first brought into service. If it climbs a good 6 to 8 psi its time to backwash, though, Ive found that backwash is a lazy approach to filter cleaning and I generally elect to do this.

Is there any to patch the filter? Hi there, very nice and detail video.
Yes, but they do not last long...

running backwards and dumping the DE out of the unit is a wash.
Thank you so much for this tutorial

Fantastic detail

How often should this be done?

Good video but everyone save your time and buy a sand filter lol
There are reasons why people dont use sand filters anymore.
