cool so if I wanted to clean a DE filter and keep the pool running I would turn the pump off then turn system valve to recirculate, turn pump back on and begin by opening pressure valve for filter tank?

We have a DE filter for our above-ground pool but it also has a crank. Can you explain how that works please? My husband usually handles the pool but forgets and im trying to learn to take over maintenence.

Hello, I only have a black handle on my Pentair de filter . I don’t have the at nice valve like in the video . Did my pool builder cheat me ? Do I need that nice looking valve ?

What happens if I dont use DE with this filter system? Is it still filtering?

Do you need to close values to backwash
