About my pool: in ground 19' round vinyl. 8500 gals. no its not a converted above ground pool.
Pump: Hayward superpump sp2605x7 3/4 HP
Filter Pac-Fab (pentair) Tagelus TA-30D (30 gpm) Sand filter
accessory: Polaris 165 pool sweep.
equipment is 10-12 feet from pool.
The pool is a older pacific pools in ground 19 foot round. est about 8500 gal. I think the pump is overpowering the filter. (silt frequent back-washing when using pool sweep)
Should I go bigger filter or smaller pump? Downsize impeller to 1/2 HP? will I still be overpowering the filter at 1/2 HP?
I figure about 45-50 GPM through a 1/2 HP pump or impeller.
If what so what size sand filter?
If I switch to cartridge, what size? with 3/4 HP or with 1/2 HP.
Thanks
