I'm looking for a recommendation to replace my DE filter. I have a 16k gal inground plaster pool currently with a Pentair FNS 60 PLUS VERTICAL GRID D.E. FILTER, a Pentair Multiport SM20-2 valve and a 1.5 hp motor.
My main issue with not wanting to stay with the Pentair is that the grids are constantly getting tears, from small holes to rips, and have to be replaced on a regular basis.
Any thoughts?

Re: DE Filter recommendation
Go for a 30" dia sand filter with Dr Drydens Activate glass media and a speed controller for your 1.5hp pump.
Reducing the power of your pump will improve filtration, save enough to pay for the improvements so a win win.
Or 2 x 24" dia which is better still.
