That's the good news... the bad news is, after a week with no chlorine the pool is pretty green. So, a lot of sweeping and filter back washing in line for the weekend and beyond.
But... it was worth it to save the $300.

It sounds like you have an expensive set-up. Is it an in-ground pool? We have an 18 ft. round above-ground pool. It doesn't have a sand filter (although at one time it did), so there's never a need to backwash; and having a spare filter eliminates the wasted time between filter washings. I just pull out the dirty cartridge and slip in the clean one, then clean the dirty one and save it for the next change.
We've had a couple of pool-worthy days so far, but I didn't take advantage of them. My grandson and Norton are raring to go, but the pool needs to be cleaned up from winter first before they can come in.
