A, let's say questionable at best, pool service guy is stating my TR60 Pentair pool filter has a crack at the base causing a leak (filter is original at 15+ years old but has never leaked) but due to the age it very well could be true but aside from that I have been have recurring issues with a cloudy pool and I am burning through chemicals like crazy to keep it clear. I suspect the filter isn't working properly because A)sand is probably due to be replaced and B) we keep having sand show up at the bottom of the pool (my father and I looked at all of the internals when we swapped sand 3 or 4 years ago and everything appeared to be in good shape) so not sure what's going on there. Anyway to fix a cracked fiberglass and avoid the $1K price tag to replace?
What is everyone's opinion on using a sand filter with glass media? Does it clean better? Has anyone had issues with glass getting back into the pool like sand does?- obviously would be a disaster for cutting toes/kids ingesting glass. Pool service guy has pitched me switching to a "cartridge" filter with a nice $1800 price tag. When I asked about glass media he stated "in my experience it doesn't clean better than sand".
What's best overall filtration system between required maintenance & filtering ability:
-> DE Filter system?
-> cartridges system?
-> sand filter w/ glass media?
I appreciate the feedback.
Thanks
