I am purchasing a new filter for my 18,800 gallon pool that is not screened in. I am leaning towards a canister filter but I am not sure what size I need. Also which brand is the most reliable? Thank you for your help!
If your able to pop the top of your sand filter, deep clean it with a garden hose, and top it u with #20 sand it will save you a big nch of money.
Heather,
If you have to backwash almost everyday something is wrong.. If you have been fighting algae and have been using Floc or Clarifier, it can cause your filter to plug up..
Algae is a chemical issue, and not a filter issue, so if you have been fighting algae, replacing your filter will not solve the source of the problem.
What color is your water?
Thanks,
Jim R.
