Sand or diatamaceous earth filter for a pool? There is a pool, but this filter is definetely on the waterline that goes to the house, and not the one that goes to the pool (actually, the one that goes to the pool is shutoff, and water for the pool apparently comes from the sky).
Okay, so, it looks like I owe Carey (and Daniel and Wyatt) a cup of good Kona coffee, over some lilikoi pastry.
I am now thinking that the D.E. filter may have been ALL I needed on the waterline. It takes out things down to a micron or so.
From what I am reading, it looks like it needs to be flushed out every now and then (yuck -- here comes a ball of giardia) and then D.E. is added back to recharge the system. Something like that. Okay, so I have a D.E. system on the house.
Next time: a normal house.
