Pool Ordered - Now for equipment...

[BowserWowser]

I just spoke with another installer, and I think they're the one. They recommend Hayward products. I want a cartridge filter, and our pool will be about 17k gallons, and we want to do a SWCG (I have no idea if that affects our filter options, honestly). Installer recommended a sand filter, but I told him I couldn't imagine backwashing all that water into our yard that already turns into a pond with any heavy rain. Anyway...

I got to this page on the Hayward site and have NO idea what the differences are between most of these options:

XStream | Filters | Above Ground Pool Filters - Hayward Pool Products

XStream® cartridge filter and pump systems provide a massive filter body for added capacity of dirt and debris and longer, more efficient filtering cycles.

Help?

Drainage constraints tells me you to get the largest cartridge filter so you can go longer without tearing it open to clean. SWCG doesn't care what filter you have.

Can anyone tell me if this is what I want? And if there is anything else I will need?

Or is this the salt system I want (got a quote from my installer for this one):

You must have been typing as I was editing! I changed from the SAS to the AquaTrol after reading exactly the thread you posted. BUT it appears the AquaTrol my installer quoted me is only rated up to 18,000 gallons, which is certainly not close to double my pool's 17,000 gallons as recommended here on TFP, so...AquaRite?

Look into circupool salt water generators as there are choices there. You should get one in the 35k to 40k size.

Hayward makes a combo pump / filter on a common base with both of these. You may be able to get a better price as well. I had this and it worked great. It should work very well with your pool.

Here is a link to the pump filter. Available at most pool retailers online. I got mine through the dealer I bought the pool from.

So I saw the combo unit, and that's actually what my installer quoted me, but it looks like they only come with a single speed pump? I would like to go with a dual speed.

Yeah U gotta order them separately now- we were researching that combo for another member recently.

Hmmm, I didn't know that.
