Hello,
I want to replace my busted old DE filter with a sand filter. My in ground pool is about 31,000 gallons and I have a new Pentair Whisperflo 1 hp pump on it. The filter I'm considering buying is a Hayward 300 lb sand filter, but I'm concerned that my pump has too much GPM for the filter, which is designed for 62 GPM. But then, I've read elsewhere that even a 1.5 hp pump would barely be good enough for a 300 lb. sand filter.
Any thoughts, guys? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
