You've given me permission. Thanks for this post, Jim.

I had a busted membrane in my DE filter, every time I vacuumed I was pumping it back into the pool.

I am in Florida, I tend to have to backwash my pool once a month to keep it from overflowing, so I would use the opportunity to clean it real good.

I came up with this method due to my filter being broken, trust me, it will work, just move fast get the big stuff while back washing and then you can get the rest with the filter.
