I am looking to replace my sand filter. Not sure what size to get. I have a 10,000 gal AG and a 1.5 hp pump. My last filter was a hand me down so I know nothing about buying a filter. Any input is greatly appreciated! 
Replacing old sand filter... Opinions please!

Well, your sig says you have a 1HP pump and your post says 1.5HP. If you have a 1HP pump, you would probably be fine with a 24" filter like the Hayward S244T. If it's 1.5HP, you may be pushing the limits of that filter and need to move up to a 30" filter.
What does the motor plate on your pump give for HP and SF?

Sorry about that. I forgot to update signature. I also realized I posted this in the wrong thread. I have a 1.5 hp pump. I have read that is a bit much for a pool my size but it's what we have.
You might be able to replace your pump impeller with one from a 1HP pump and reduce your filter size requirement. Might save money in the process if you don't mind breaking the pump down to change it.
Im not experienced enough to be playing around with impellers so I guess I'll just go for the bigger filter
