Replace s220t with Hayward c1200 or c1750?

[Littlegoat]

I have an old, ailing sand filter with band aids that have been keeping it going. Looking to replace with cartridge to eliminate back wash as yard changes make it a pain to discharge the water and would like to rearrange plumbin and at unions for better access. Pool is inground, 32x16, 3ft shallow, 7ft deep end.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum!
I am sorry for the long delay in your getting a response!
With filters, typically bigger is better. Your swim season is fairly short, but I would still recommend a cartridge filter with at least 300sf of surface area. Hopefully, you could start it clean in the spring and only have to clean it at closing.
I suggest you read ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry.

I hear you on less cleaning with more surface area, as I'm looking in the summer lots of stuff out of stock, as usual my timing is excellent, lol.
If I had to clean it once or twice a summer wouldn't be the worst
