Gday all
My GAME sandpro filter has kicked the bucket (faulty lateral), so now I have decided to go cartridge. Reasons for this is:
1. No backwashing required. The pool is 8500L and it surprising how fast the water level goes down when backwashing. I just about have to top it up again afterward which throws my balance out slightly.
2. Cartridges can filter out smaller particles.
3. I like to buy new things. (Just kidding - maybe)
I realise they are a bit more fiddly with cleaning but I'm fine with that.
Do you think a 100 sq.ft. filter with a 0.75HP motor would be OK? I had a 0.75HP motor on my sandpro and it was just right.
I have read that oversizing will reduce maintenance time, but you can't have it too big apparently.
Also, is there a go-to brand I should be considering?
Thank heaps for your help!
