Thanks all. I'm trying to get away from the backflushing if possible Mayorb. I have a well. I won't rule anything out though.

1 HP pentaire pump.Premier Atlas filter.It always cleaned well: Sorry about upside down pic.

520sf for 20000 gallon? I'm in tears brother. I'll need a $1000 filter for mine. Sand is good. :)

Thanks. I know to go big. HOW big is the question. I've read that 100 sq ft per 10000 gallon is a good rule for cartridge filters. That's why the above mentioned seemed too small. INYO told me it was big enough. Didn't seem right. I still may go with sand (hayward s310t2). Money IS an object. :)

My 20 year old DE filter needs quite a few parts so I'm looking to replace it. I'm considering a cartridge filter. The Hayward c17502 star-clear claims to have a 57.6k turn over in 8 hours. It seems like a smallish unit (175 sq ft) to filter that much water. My pool is 44000 gallons. Any...

It's an arctic armour 30 year. They say 18". Thanks. I'll drain it to 18" and just cover it. Thanks.

I have a 24x44 in ground and will be installing a safety cover for the first time. I'm going south for the winter and won't be here to tighten straps. Is it OK to put a few inner tubes in the center for added support?

The sales people are saying that I can't use a 25x45. Is there reinforcement at the pool edges or something else that would make a 25x45 not work?

I'm finding 25x45 in stock but no 24x44. Would a 25x45 just be 6" bigger on each side? Can I use one?

I'm thinking of getting a safety cover for my 24x44 vinyl pool. I live in Pittsburgh so the winters are rough. I need something relatively self sustaining because I go to Florida for the winters. My brother lives close by so he can occasionally check on things. Money IS a factor.:D. Opinions?

Nice job!!!

Thanks.

Ok. I'm hosting my grandson's graduation party on Sat.,So I might not respond for a couple of days. Busier than ****.I'll do the tests as soon as I can. Thanks ps. Just FTR, my pool is 44,000 gallons. I have a pentair chlorine feeder (300) that doesn't inject enough chlorine to keep my level up...
