Your DE filter should be backwashed once per month or whenever the pressure rises to 10 psi above clean pressure. Your clean pressure is the filter psi reading that you get right after you have cleaned the filter.If you have a variable speed pump, compare the pressure at about 2500 RPM, so you have an “apples to apples” comparison.
Use an orange DE scoop to make sure you get the right amount of DE in your filter. You can pick up this DE scoop at Pool Stop. One of the most common mistakes people make is not putting enough DE into their filter after backwashing.
