Pro Tip For: Pentair 180007
Make sure to recharge your D.E. filter with 3.6 lbs of D.E. after backwashing. If you undercharge your filter this can lead to reduced filtration efficiency. Also, it is important to remember that overcharging the filter will increase pressure, by clogging the grids with to much D.E. powder. If you overcharge make sure to check your pressure gauge often and if the PSI rises 8–10 PSI above normal, then you should back wash.
Expert Comparison & Pro Tips For: Pentair 180007
When comparing The Pentair 180007 D.E. filter to sand or cartridge filters. The D.E filters provide a smaller micron filtration, leading to less visible debris and improved water clarity. Also, sand filters also require back washing and time consuming sand changes. Furthermore, cartridge filters need a recommended cleaning of 2-4 times a year. With a D.E. system you can easily back wash the filter before you recharge the filter with D.E. powder. This makes D.E. easier to clean only requiring 2 cleanings a year and grids will easily rinse clean with a hose.
