A D.E filter gives you an extremely consistent, and highly effective filtration. However, in certain situations it is better to bypass the filter. Such as the event of an extreme algae bloom. Superchlorination kills the algae, flocculant will coagulate the deader algae and make it settle to the bottom. But if you pass that muck through your filter its not only bad for your filter. But it will make you lose your attitude also. The easiest solution is to add a three way valve between the pump and the filter. Which will allow you vacuum without bogging down the filter.
