I live in Richmond, VA and have an 18x33 above ground pool. About 18,000 gallons.
Need to replace the pump and am looking into switching from sand to a cartridge based filter. My goal would be to make it easier to maintain and just have to discard and replace the filter every year instead of having to backwash, etc.
I have received mixed advice on whether this is feasible or a good idea and would appreciate any thoughts. This pool came with our house when we bought it and I am fairly new to the world of pool care and maintenance.
Thanks.
