Just checking everything now that I've found this site!
My pump is a Hayward with a flow of 14.5 cu m/hour which I make out to be 64gpm.
My Multicyclone 12 Plus max flow is 9.1 cu m/hour or 40gpm max.
Given that I read here, that best flow for a cartridge filter is 75% max it looks like my pump has over twice the flow recommended for my filter.
The filter pressure reads 16psi with a maximum of 50psi stated in the manual (not sure if this is relevant)
The water looks good and bather load on this indoor hydrotherapy pool is only ever myself, my wife and our son, twice a week for an hour and a half each session. I cleaned the filter last season and didn't see any obvious damage.
The pool was put in 20 months ago, so should I ask for a slower pump, or bigger filter or continue as is? Perhaps I could just ask them to swap the pump motor or impeller?
