It seems like I have to backwash a lot - usually after every time or every other time that I vacuum. If I try to add D.E. or fiber stuff to the filter to improve performance, I can only add a small amount (maybe 1/4 - 1/2 cup) before the pressure gets too high and "junk" starts shooting out of my returns. Sometimes I need to backwash while I am vacuuming because everything I am sucking off the bottom starts shooting back out of the return jets.
Below are my pool details. Based on everything that I have been reading, I'm thinking filter is undersized for my size pool. What do you think - do you think my filter is undersized? If so, what size filter would you recommend? Would the pentair TR100 30" filter be large enough?
20/40 IG vinyl pool, approx 32,000 gal with 1.5 Hayward pump (after market motor).
Filter is a Hayward 24" top-mount with 300 lbs of sand.
1.5" pvc plumbing with 3 returns, 2 skimmer lines, and a drain line.
Thank you.
