My Hayward 3600 is about 4 years old & although I backwash & change the DE when the pressure rises to about 22, I have never opened the filter to do any maintainence. Is it essential to do that & if so, how ofter?

In reply to Ron.

Hi Ron,

Yes, I mean the filter grids. They are supposed to have a “mesh” but no holes.

If you send me pictures of the grids I will look at them for you. https://wetheadmedia.com/contact/

As for the conversion, they don’t make a kit but you can buy a filter and just replace the unit you have now. Craigslist sometimes has great deals when people take down or fill in there pools they often sell their equipment,

Let me know if you have more questions.

Joseph,
Thanks for your reply. When you say holes are you talking about in the mesh fabric that covers the grid?
Also what about a conversion kit from DE to cartridge, is such a thing available?
Thanks,
Ron
