How long can a d.e.filter last?
There are two carts in this filter and about 1/2 hr with a garden hose everything was nice and clean….not that it seemed that dirty in the first place. After putting it all together and restarting the pump…15 psi. These things can filter for an unbelievable amount of time especially if you oversize things a bit.
Can a d.e.filter be replaced with a cartridge?
You can keep your current valve as long as it isn’t built into the filter. It will be just a little more plumbing work to do that then to simply remove it, but shouldn’t pose any problems. The main reason no one normally does that is that putting the valve on backwash can destroy the cartridge.
