I need to order another fitting for it but don't know the exact name for it. Its the plastic peice that i screw my garden hose into that has a quick disconnect on the other end to connect to the pump.
Answer
Since there are a number of different "quick disconnect" coupling systems used by various manufacturers, you need to start by identifying the manufacturer of the pressure washer, if they provided the fitting with the new system, or the fitting manufacturer if the pressure washer manufacturer did not supply the fitting with the pressure washer. The fitting/coupling will likely have a manufacturers name / mark and model / part number on it.
The pressure washer manufacturer will likely have a web site (which you find by using the brand name to find their main web site) that sells replacement parts, but you will need their model number (or be able to identify the unit visually) in order to choose the right unit from which to choose / identify a component.
The garden hose is on the water "supply side" of the pressure washer, should that come up when trying to identify the components.

How do I clean my D.E pool filter?
STEVE A
Closing inground pool for winter. What is the best way to care for the (socks?) filter grids?
Answer
I have a Diatomaceous Earth filter on the pool on my California house. I keep that pool open all year round, but I do clean the DE filters about every 3 months or so. It's actually pretty easy.
-Shutdown the pump and open the cock-valve on top of the filter housing to let the pressure equalize.
-Loosen the clam-shell clamps, remove the bracket and remove the top of the filter housing.
-The filter assembly should be secured by hardware in the center. Remove the hardware (usually a hex nut and lock washer) and lift the entire assembly out of the filter housing. (There may be some resistence due to the o-rings so rock the assembly back and forth as you lift.)
-The filters are pretty easy to clean with just a garden hose. As long as you've always made sure to add DE after each backwash, then the scum should come off the filter nets wihtout too much trouble. If additional cleaning is needed, the filter assembly can be taken apart but it's somewhat difficult to put back together... you'll want 2 or 3 extra hands to reassemble it. I normally just leave it in 1 piece and try to clean it as best I can that way.
-It's a good idea to change the o-rings before your put the filter assembly back into the filter house. Your local pool supply store should have the parts (like Leslie's Pool Supply). Wiping a thin film of vaseline on the o-rings will help it slide back together, but only a THIN film! Any excess will end up in the filter screen.
-Since the screens are totally clean now, make sure to add as much DE as when the filter was new the next time you run the pump.
Getting the screens good and clean from beginning to end would usually take a little less than an hour and two or three beers.
Note: The o-rings I mentioned usually last 2 or 3 years which means yours might just shred as you're taking the filter assembly out. To save time, get replacement o-rings in advance.
