First time pool owner here. We are having a Latham Valencia installed this year and originally went with a sand filter because PB said they are the easiest and most economical to maintain. I know a lot of people here love their cartridge filters...so I was curious the real world maintenance on each. Our pool will be approx 10,000 gal. So how often do you backwash (I know it’s relative) replace sand, clean filters or replace them...and which is truly better cost wise. It doesn’t cost me any extra for a cartridge over sand initially. It’s my choice of sand, cartridge or DE.
thanks!
