So I just finished a whole house renovation and moved into our lovely new home. Only problem is the pool is an absolute swamp and I'm pretty sure I'll be better off just replacing the pump and filter. It has been 7 years since their has been any work done or maintenance on the pool at all. The pump will turn on but leaks like crazy, also won't hold prime. I can't find any distinguishing marks so a rebuild would be questionable at best. The multiport housing is cracked and the filter body itself is an obsolete brand so planning on just cutting my losses and starting fresh.
The pool is a 16 x32 gunnite pool with a shallow depth of 3 feet and a deep depth of 9.5ish. Currently so green it is hard to assure an accurate measurement. I have 1 skimmer with 3 returns. I'll try to get a more accurate sketch when I get home but I was wanting to say under 40 feet of head but could be wrong. Plumbing going into the pump and filter is 1.5 inch. I stopped by a local pool supply place but only one there seemed quite unsure of her recommendation so I thought I would see what you guys had to say. I would prefer to stay with a sand filter but other than that I'm open to suggestion. Budget friendlyish would be nice but don't want to just buy the cheapest thing possible either.
