I need to a replace an old Pentair FNS 60 DE filter after a hole burst in the lid. My MPV also needs replaced as it has been suffering slow leaks for years even after rebuilding with new O-rings.
I’m curious about changing to cartridge filter. I’m not opposed to staying with DE (no restrictions), but I certainly could do without dealing with DE.
My filter does take a lot a big particles of eroded patio stone that finds its way into the pool. They have the consistency of sand. Not sure if this will cause trouble with cartridge.
I have a 22,000 gallon pool and 1.5hp VS pump. I’ve got the following questions:
What is the sqft/gallons recommendation when sizing a cartridge filter?
Can/should cartridge filters be backwashed?
How often do the cartridges need replacement?
What makes/models are recommended?
Really appreciate any advice on this. Thanks!
