    Filter too small?

    Hello. I recently upgraded my 1 hp Hayward superpump with a variable speed Pentair 342001, 1.5 hp. I have an 18x36 around 25,000 gallon pool. My current filter is a Hayward perflex ec65, which I now see has a flow rating of 67 gpm. Now looking at this pump which has a flow rate over 100, I’m...

    Pool Size Dilemma

    Hello. I just found this forum and the amount of information is great. I am a prospective pool owner who overthinks every aspect. I was planning on a 16x32 but I just can't picture how big that is in my yard when it's actually a pool and not just markers in the yard.I can upgrade to an 18x36...
