Love the site and see I'm not alone with lots of pool issues. I too have my own set of horror stories, but right now, for many reasons, I'm on the hunt for an American Products 48' DE Filter Model #584090 Owner's/Operating Manual. Does anyone know where/how I can get a copy of one?

Two of the reasons for wanting the manual are, (1) wanted to know what was the manufacturer's recommendation (how much) for adding new DE to the filter after a backwash, and (2) after just now taking apart the filter grid (having to replace a couple of severally damaged grids), I need some assistance in getting the whole filter grid back together again - need the diagrams and any instructions/tips on getting the grids back in place without doing additional damage.

Any help you folks can provide would be greatly appreciated!
