Thank you for your input. We don't have a lot of trouble variables unless we get fires... ugh... then ash. Thanks again.

Also, my pool is only 7600 gallons.

This is an upgrade and I have absolutely no problem with the pump. Nothing on the surface has a chance with the skimmer and it moves the water great! We have an independent floor cleaner so that's not a consideration. My only problem is strictly the filter, Type B. I don't want to clean it...

I think my light just came on... LOL. First, maybe my B filter is good enough and I just thought I had to clean it so often and don't!! Second, maybe my pump and filter aren't 1 unit but just mounted on the same base. I wonder how many feet of filter is in a B cartridge.

I understand the different types of filters. I was looking for a system unit not piecing something together. But that may be an okay idea if my current 2500 gpm pump/filter will run the larger cartridge filter and just not put in the B filter. I just don't want to be cleaning the filter once...

Yes. We have GFCI. The timer is a good idea if you're not shutting it down to clean, although that's why I want to get a bigger filter and not need to do that as much. My current pump is 2500 gpm with the pump and filter as 1 unit. I suppose I could run the large cartridge via the current...

Thank you for the input. I'm a bit confused on the cartridge filter item. What about a pump? My two concerns about the sand pump system would be no GCFI plug-in and no on/off switch? Thanks again for your ideas.

I'm considering going from my 2500gpm cartridge filter to an Intex 14" Sand Filter. Do you think this is a good size for my pool? And given no unusual circumstances (ie: leaves, dust storm, etc.) how often do you think I would need to backwash. I know about the pressure gauge reading, but I'd...

Just want to let you know... successful and ready for guests Thu-Sun! THANK YOU!

Thank you.... AGAIN!

Would you recommend taking it down to 50? Or leave at 70?

The test with the black dot in the bottom of the cylinder. Initially it didn't register on the scale. I added 1 pod at a time and now 70. I really didn't want it that high but maybe didn't let sit long enough between pods.

If I want to lower my CYA to 50, the calculator says to replace 29% of water. Should I do that before SLAM or after?

Thank you.

What test kit will read up to 28 FC?
