I have gone back and forth a number of times and researched til my eyes are crossed. I have a 14500 gallon fiberglass pool. It was a kit when I bought it and it came with a Hayward Super pump 1HP self priming pump and the Hayward Star clear plus cartridge filter. I have had repeated issues with the filter and pump seemingly being too small as it takes me forever to get it completely turned over. It generally takes me 3 weeks to clean it up when opening it in the spring. Should I replace the pump and make it variable speed and get a larger filter? Or do I just need a new filter right now and replace the pump later. They both work fine they just take forever. I also need to clean the filter constantly to bring psi down, it generally runs in the 20+ range shortly after cleaning it. Any suggestions?
Edit~The filter is a single cartridge unit. Usually takes about 12+ hours to turn over completely. 1.5 inch piping
