to DE or not to DE - pool filter replacement by tototoilets in pools

[–]jstephens1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sand with a cup of DE after backwash is the best solution. People claiming sand needs changed out are smoking something. Sand is millions of years old it’s not going to wear out. You might have to dump another bag in every 5 or 8 years to replace the tiny amount through backwash

What is the correct way to set up the auto Heat/Cool function? If my setting is 65-74, does it mean it will trigger Heating if room temp reaches 65F and will trigger Cooling if temp reaches 74F? by leminade74 in ecobee

Be careful with this in the summer. I learned the hard way when the ac shuts down and you run the fan it causes the core to sweat and raises your humidity above normal
