Hello my friend. Thank you for showing the pool filter replacement. This kind of useful information may always be needed. See you. Big greetings. Stay healthy and happy.
No probs it’s easy to clean these types of filters. Couple of times a year do it yourself and save some money. Just remember to let all the air out first…lol
Thanks you very much, hope it helped and save yourself a few bucks doing it yourself. Just be sure not to over tighten the ring that connects the two halves of the filter, as that can crack the filter.
Thanks sir, not for everyone but for someone who has a pool and doesn’t want to pay a pool guy a couple of hundred bucks for something they can do easily.
Thanks and yes you have to be careful, it’s silicone lubricant, you can buy a small tube from your pool store. Or you can buy pool O-ring lubricant from Amazon. There is a brand called magic lube for pools that is good.
Hi Chuck the water system you use does not relate to the pool filter you have. You may have a sand filter, than no DE should be used, if it’s a DE filter then yea you should replace the DE at least once a year. To be safe take a picture of your pool filter to your pool store and ask them. Sorry can’t be specific as it depends on the filter type you have
You ended by saying if you have no bubbles in the Pump you are good to go. What if you see through the clear top of the pump, bubbles? Or fills to the top then suddenly water drops to the bottom of the pump reservoir? After maybe 3 minutes, it fills up to the top, then drops to the bottom again? Does this mean there is an air leak? I have no debris in either the skimmer filter or the pump filter, i also added some O ring lubricant to the Pump lid for a good seal??? I'm baffled why it seems it's lost prime?
My guess would be a air leak, check all the glued connections to the pump and filter. A few years a ago I had a similar issue and I had a small leak on a pipe going to the pump.
I don't have a pool filter. I don't even have a pool. I don't even want a pool. But I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it... Tell me honestly Dr. Harki; am I weird?
Depends on the size of your filter. My filter is a Quade 60 and requires 6 lbs of de after a complete clean. Your filter should have a sticker on the side that says how much is required.

This is the best video I have seen on the cleaning of the DE filter. THe lighting was bright, the steps easy to see and thus do myself. Thank you.
Thanks appreciate that
Thanks for this, I was trying to understand how these differ from classic grid filters, and this cleared up my questions. Great video.
The classic grid filters probably more effective, but these are easier and quicker to clean and maintain.
Awesome video 👍 greeting from singapore

Very good- how much de/60sqft?

Great work 👍 thanks for the important information

4:30 what do you use to lubricate such rings ? (i'm always afraid that lubricant "eats" rubber)
Thanks and yes you have to be careful, it’s silicone lubricant, you can buy a small tube from your pool store. Or you can buy pool O-ring lubricant from Amazon. There is a brand called magic lube for pools that is good.
@@LonghornWorkshop thank you very much !! nice to give this as an advice
If you have a salt water pool, do you use D.E. powder?

Forgot to mention in the earlier message also check the pool valves. Maybe the gasket / o ring in them need replacing.
Thank you for the nice video. Much appreciated!
Thanks for watching and the kind words. Always good to get feedback. Cheers!
I don't have a pool filter. I don't even have a pool. I don't even want a pool. But I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it... Tell me honestly Dr. Harki; am I weird?
Thank god you are weird...lol
You watch it because of the great entertainment value...🤣
Hi, for how long time is ok to observed DE sand at the pool after putting the DE for the first time?
Sorry I am not sure I understand the question? DE is not sand, it’s a powder.
You need to do a complete clean of the filter twice a year.
How much DE powder did you use after complete cleaning Quad filter?
Depends on the size of your filter. My filter is a Quade 60 and requires 6 lbs of de after a complete clean. Your filter should have a sticker on the side that says how much is required.
Nice work,👍👍
Thanks Gao appreciate you dropping by and taking time from your busy schedule of creating great art work.
Great video sir 👍
Thanks man
very useful video👍
Thanks man
Very nice 👍
Thanks man
Maybe im stupid but im having trouble getting the band on properly without the filter leaking
Don’t forget the rubber gasket that’s between the two half’s of the filter. If you have that already make sure it’s sitting right and not damaged
Nice good video your Like

Cleaning DE filters on your grass might be bad for your grass. I did the same and it killed my grass. Be careful...
Good tip, thanks
