Thank you all for your input on things it is greatly appreciated. I too had to play things by ear with the filter until i could be available full time. You must check and bump the filter every 15 min in my experience and replace the DE as often as possible. Nasty looking pumpkin slurry/ creamy tomato soup junk will be encountered. I also have gotten over the top with the super frequent changes to the DE. Pool is crystal clear with a tint of green. I am still trying to get the chlorine to hold overnight. I will keap you informed and hopefully post some pictures to, stay tuned.
Thanks again,
Alan
