My pool..
24,000g IG
1 skimmer...40' of 2" PVC to pump
1 maindrain...9' in the deep end of pool....30' of 1.5" PVC to pump
2 jets....1st jet is 20' of 1.5" PVC from pump...2nd jet is 50' of 1.5 PVC from pump
1 yr old Hayward 1.5hp 2 speed Superpump (I use "Low" speed for filtration, "High" speed for vacuuming)
"BROKEN" Hayward S200 sand filter
(I remove and store the pump and strainer each winter but I just cover the sand filter)
I knew this existing filter was too small when I bought the house 4 years ago (but I was able to keep the water clear with BBB and the luck of not having any trees close to the pool)
The filter looked old when I bought the house also but I had decided to use it as long as possible because of lack of funds...
The filter now is leaking in several places and can't be repaired...and I now have the funds to replace it...
Please advise on the size replacement sand filter...
Also please advise on top mount vari-valve or sidemount vari-valve (advantages & disadvantages of each)...
I'm going to redo the plumbing at the pump pad this year anyway..so that part of the decision of top or side mount vari-valve is n/a...
Thanks for any advice...
