Need advice regarding cartridge filter...

[Pappy]

I quote from the Pentair Quad D.E. brochure..."And cleaning couldn't be easier. In fact, you have three options...backwash and recharge like a traditional D.E. filter, remove and rinse off the cartridges, or simply remove the lid, leave the cartridges in place, open the drain plug and rinse."

D.E. filter does not equal CARTRIDGE filter. Is this what your guy is suggesting?

Oh, Mark...? You've had a cartridge filter for 8+ years? You must have been a pioneer of sorts!

Not really. They were pretty common in our area when I installed it and with the drought restriction we now have, I am glad I have one.
