    Switching from a cartridge to sand filter

    I have to hose my cartridge filter more than once or twice a season. I have trees behind my pool and they cause more work. Plumbing will also be easy.

    Switching from a cartridge to sand filter

    Which filter do you have? I see your signature says 23" 250 lb filter.

    Switching from a cartridge to sand filter

    I'm not sure how much water costs. I'll have to check my bill.

    Switching from a cartridge to sand filter

    I am about to order a sand filter for my above ground pool since my cartridge filter has a cracked ring. Plus I'd like the easier maintenance of the sand filter. Which sand filter should I get for my 18x34 pool? I have a Hayward Power Flo Variable 1.5 hp pump.

    Connecting new pump

    You guys and gals have been a huge help so far but now to my next little project. I bought a Hayward Power-flo matrix dual speed pump to replace the old single speed pump. As I've stated before, I'm new to the pool world. I went to connect the pump and the fittings would not work. I'm guessing I...

    Pool cleaner

    Pool cleaner

    Will a robotic pool cleaner damage my recently repaired liner? I am looking into getting a dolphin robot or an automatic barracuda for this upcoming pool season.

    New pump

    I don't have a preference or a need (this is all new to me). I don't mind getting a little dirty lol. I could probably just keep the current cartridge filter and just replace the pump. I have done some reading on the pros and cons of both types of filters.

    New pump

    I updated my signature and attached a picture. The sand filter wasn't my idea but the local pool guy's. I asked him to check everything out when I moved here and had no idea about pool care. He suggested going with the sand filter this spring for ease of use. The cartridge filter may be fine but...

    New pump

    Hey TFP. So I'm pretty new to the pool world, I bought a house in Aug, and it came with a 18×34 oval above ground pool. I've been reading and reading here all while learning a lot. The pump that I currently have seems like an older setup and is kind of loud. It stills works but I'm weighing...

    New to the pool world

    Hey guys. I bought a house a couple of wks ago that came with an above ground pool. I know nothing about upkeep but have been doing a lot of reading here. The pool was green a few days ago but now is back to blue after a few chemical additions. I think it's ready to be vacuumed. I'll attach a...
