Been looking to upgrade the tiny 10” sand filter on my intex 7500 gallon pool. Been looking for used and new setups, used are scarce and new are 5x the price they should be if even available. I live in the north so swimming will only be about 4 months.
so i found a free old pureflo fiberglass filter, 200 lbs!! Lol. Also got a Hayward valve for $50. My questions are:
Should i continue with this filter and valve and look for a pump?, i can get a 1hp pump fairly cheap.
Or sell the valve, get rid of the filter and keep looking?
If i keep the filter id like to go to clamp style plumping but im not sure how to do this along with trying to connect to my intex. Looks to be 1.5” schd 40 and 80 on the valve and filter.
