I've got to think that newer technology is available. Cartridges that you can backwash? I'll goggle search, but any thoughts. At this point, I don't mind spending a few hundred $ to quit having to deal with this.

Look at the Pentair Quad 60 Hugh. It is still a DE filter with all the benefits of fine water filtration but modern elements that are durable and very easy to clean. It's a lot better than the old 60s grid technology that are fragile, a pain to re-assemble and tear easily. Modern technology has arrived.
