My Sandfilter sprung a seam leak and to no avail all patching attampts have failed.....and we are taking it off life support and putting it in it's final resting place for eternity. (into the dumpster that is).....my queation(s) is/are
1. Can I replace just the filter with out buying the pump? (my old one is jacuzzi 250l)...the pump is still working good..

2. What is the best filter I can get to replace my 250L?

My pool is a 16 X 32 grecian 18,000 gallons.

Any help is appreciated.

Hey Chris. Happy Good Friday to you.

1. You can just replace just the filter. No use replacing a perfectly good pump.

2. That's a very subjective question. You could always go back with the same model or you could change to a cartridge or D.E. filter if you prefer.
Having said that, the 250L is a good size for your pool.

you could change to a cartridge or D.E. filter if you prefer.

Disclaimer: my opinion only!: I would replace the sand filter with either the exact same model or a 200SF cartridge filter. Since Hayward is sold and supported where you are, I'd seriously consider them. Down here near Mobile, Pentair is more prevalent so that's what I have and what I'd use again.
