Changing from a DE6020 filter to the DE7220

[texaspoolman57]

I am wondering what if any negatives there would be to going from the DE6020 filter to the DE7220 other than it would require more media on cleanings and the grids would cost a little more than with the DE6020.

Thanks for the Reply Jim,

I only ask because I have the opportunity to pick up a DE7220 filter housing for a good price. My filter housing is about 20 years old. I have always kept it protected from the sun and still looks good. I thought if I had an opportunity to replace it I would. I think when I do I will just replace it with the same housing. BTW, how does one know when it is time to replace a Hayward filter housing?

57,

No real reason to replace it unless it cracks, leaks, or you just don't like the weathered look..

I have two rent house pools that have old Hayward DE filters... I would like to replace them with large cartridge filters, but they just won't die...

I only asked why because a lot of pool owners believe that poor water quality is caused by a "bad" filter, which is not the case 95% of the time.

Thanks,
