I recently cleaned my D.E. pool filter and now there is excess air in the tank (where the grids are). I bleed it off but it comes back. No air returning to pool and all baskets are clear. It runs okay but lots of air. Is this okay?:confused:

Air usuallly gets in due to a leak between the filter lid and the base. Did you backwasher or open the DE filter? I also make a point of applying rubber lub to the big O ring on the filetr base.
