Thinking of switching to a sand filter. Currently have a cartridge filter that we have to clean 1 or 2 times per week. On our 3rd filter in 5 years. Thoughts?

You shouldn't have to clean a cartridge filter that often. Something is either not sized properly or some other issue is occurring. I haven't had to clean my cartridge filter all summer.
I've got a 100 sqft filter and overall I'm happy with it. During the hot summer months it gets cleaned once or twice a month, then in winter it goes two or three months.
The higher you go up in square footage the longer you could go in between cleanings. The more the fabric, the more dirt it can catch before it gets too dirty to filter properly.
What is your price range? I can give you an idea what to look for.
