Need advice on cartridge based filter

[Dima]

Good day guys ,

I am looking for a new filter cartridge based for 30k littres pool. Can u suggest what power I need ?
I currently have sand filter but when I send flow through it my heat pump says NOT ENOUGH FLOW. SO I was hoping with cartridge filter flow will be better

You should have sufficient flow though a sand filter for a heat pump.

What model pump? Post pics of the pump and data plate.

When did you last clean the sand in the filter? What is the filter pressure?

Post pics of your equipment and heat pump setup.

I have 1HP water pump, and jacuzzi sand filter, u can see it on pic. I thought sand filters does not need to be cleaned, I think I completely changed sand like 5 years ago but I do backwash.

You can't go wrong buying bigger and will enjoy the longer time frames between filter cleanings. Buy the biggest you can fit in the space.
