Rooting makes no difference in sand AFAIK

100% Pool Filter Sand, here's an amazon link to what most people get, but here's what I used.

From what I've seen, fish like sand better, even if they're the type that vaccum feed, they can rid sand from their mouths easier than gravel. Not to mention, they don't have to keep shoving their mouths into the gravel, because the food will just sit on top, instead of a crevice.

Sand for sure. Easier to vacuum too, just hover over.

Guessing this would be the better one you are describing?

I looked on Pentair's main site and didn't see a direct reference to a FNS without a plus on it.

Use Pool Filter Sand. It cheap and PH neutral.

Its alot cheap from your local hardware store.

Thanks for the reply. I've decided to go with a new DE filter. I'm going to do the replacement with my brothers help.

I'm looking at this filter. The 50 model. My pool is 18000 gallons.
Thoughts?

This is only $40 with shipping.

That's hard to beat unless space is an issue but definitely worth considering for someone that doesn't already have carbon.

Buy these 2 things. Ensure that is the correct element. Take a picture of the data plate into your local pool store and tell them you need a replacement element (actual filter) and a locking knob.
Actually, you should buy 2 elements as that filter system is undersized for that amount of volume. Keep one clean and DEGREASED at all times, swap them when the filter pressure rises by ~15 psi and DEGREASE it overnight before using again.

Here is how to proper clean and DEGREASE a cartridge filter. it is not clean until it is DEGREASED!! Note step #4, it is the most important.

Sure - here's some pics - https://imgur.com/a/Yl2DxEe

I run it for about 8 hours overnight and a few more hours in the AM. I've got it set on a schedule via a wi-fi plug.

I've been using this reusable filter I got from amazon and its been going pretty well - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W06Z2UU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I rinse out the filter every other day or so and it catches a lot, but the old paper filters used to catch a lot more of the brown oil stuff maybe.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Any advice specific to this re-usable filter would be great too.
