Currently have the c1200. Pool is 13,000 gal. Any opinions about Pentair 160317 vs Hayward c1200? The Pentair is about $100 more, but 30 more sqft. Or a different recommendation? Also I one compatible with the other? Currently the pipe connections to the input and output of the filter are...

Yeah all three have water coming out. So I guess that answers the question that they meet again underground. Like I said I just wanted to cut out the feeder. Would it be best to leave it then in this case. Just not sure why would be done that way.

Basic setup and question. Coming from the outlet of the filter, the pipe branches off into two. One of the two split pipes goes in to the ground, presumably straight to the pool/returns. The other pipe from the split goes through a valve, then to a chemical feeder (which I don't use), then...

Too many different models from both Pentair and Hayward for just cartridge filters. Pentair has Clean & Clear, Clean & Clear Plus, Clean & Clear RP, Posi-Clear RP, System:2, System:3 Hayward has Star-Clear, Star-Clear Plus, SwimClear Single Element, SwimClear Multi-Element Are any of these...

Edit: DISREGARD this post, mixed up my posts. It seems the filter I have now (Hayward c1200, 120sqft) doesn't come in 200sqft size. I was able to find the c1200 for around $230. What is the equivalent model of Sta-Rite? Sta-Rite is the same as Pentair? Then I will also look for the next size...

It seems the filter I have now (Hayward c1200, 120sqft) doesn't come in 200sqft size. Have a question: Obviously the flow rate of the pool filter needs to be higher than the GPM that the pump moves, right? If that is the case, since the filter can move through more water than the pump can give...

The current filter is a Hayward c1200. Does a pretty good job if you ask me. Pool size is about 13,500 gallons. I'm just going to replace the filter because the tie rod is supposed to stay in the bottom and it doesn't which is a hassle to back together. Are the Sta-Rite filters comparable to...

So I flipped on the pump and the top jumps off the filter body. It's a Hayward C1200 Before I even get started I should say that ever since I bought this house last year the Tie Rod (you know the rod that normally remains in the bottom part of the filter body when you take the top off), well...

Bought it!

I live in Florida so not sure what you mean by this "slope" word :p But no, there is no place to put the end of the hose that would be lower than where I need it to be Thanks everybody for the input! I think a utility pump will be able to do the trick.

Thanks. With a screen enclosure I just don't need the vacuum on 4-6 hours a day, and it's in the way. I'd rather just put it in once a week. I'm just not sure I'm getting the valve for it to fully close, so like I said I didn't know if that was bad to have it sucking, even a little bit against...

Thanks for your help everyone. Never used or even seen a sump pump or utility pump, but I am seeing that as the best option now. There is a sump pump on eBay for $39.. What is the difference between a sump pump and utility pump? What type of hoses connect to it? A sump pump has a clamp type...

The CYA in my pool is something like 100. By the way how do you measure CYA when looking for that little black dot to disappear at the bottom of the tube? I mean, is it when it's cloudy, or totally not able to be seen? Because I'd guess from person to person - one might be able to still see...

This is probably a really stupid question but.. I have one of those Zodiac Barracuda G3 cleaners attached to the port in the pool wall. What is the correct way to disconnect it when it is not needing to be doing its thing? The port has a spring loaded cover that shuts when the vacuum hose is...

Is the Pleatco PA120 just as good of a product as the Hayward CX1200RE? The Pleatco filter is $45. Compared to $85 for the Hayward.
