This is our second summer in our 1976 home. Our pool filter might be as old as the pool and home itself. Last summer, we called the pool guy the previous owners had used for years. He commented on the fact that the filter was OLD, and we'd be needing a new one sooner than later. He's a nice, humble, trustworthy man, so we didn't feel as if he was "out to get us". After last year's disastrous Summer, we are in agreement that no amount of chemicals can make this pool usable without a new filter. Noteworthy, is our pump is in good shape.
I just called the pool guy to inquire about a new filter installation. He does not believe our pool is 44,000, as we were told. The measurements of our rectangular pool are 40x20, with the deep end supposedly 10' and the shallow perhaps around 4 or 4.5'.
The pool guy is recommending a 300 pound, 26' sand filter for us.
I'm curious to know the experts' thoughts here. Thanks, in advance.
