It is a Hayward Sand Filter. I think it is 24" diameter

There is about 22' (overestimating if anything) of total piping from back of skimmer to suction side of the pump. Not at home right so I cannot check the filter criteria, but all else is listed above. Thank you. The way the Aqua Genie works is a skimmer with 4 2 inc slits below it that act as...
