I have a inground 16x32 pool with a crystal flo sand filter says model T-170BP-1 says 150lbs sand capacity. My pool is roughly 22500. Should I upgrade? Seems like the turnover is about if not exceeding 12hours
 
We would generally recommend at least a 4.2 sqft sand filter for your pool. So at the minimum a 27" filter.

We actually usually recommend double the size in the chart for cartridge and DE filters to reduce frequency of cleaning.

Smaller would certainly work however you would have to clean more often.
