I don't think it's funny. I do think this unit is in California.

UPDATE:

I ordered the 8-fingered wand but of course it will never arrive in time.
So I spent another hour cleaning the filters with the garden hose,
spreading the pleats one by one by hand. I started counting, but at about
200 or so I lost count and just gave up.

My reasoning was that the algae was gonna start again so I'd better get
the filtration going - so I put both filters back in and started it up.

Of course, there's ANOTHER problem (see separate thread) ... but I do
very much appreciate all the help because you guys, collectively, are
like having a great team of professionals helping all of us!

Thanks!
