I am having a pool installed in a few weeks....27ft AG, 18,500 and need some advice.
I currently have 2 pumps ....1 Pentair Superflo model # sf-n1-1a 1 hp pump and a hayward powerflo 1 hp.
I ran sand with my last pool and want to upgrade to a cartridge filter...reading various threads on different sites I see the common advice is "bigger is better".
taking that into consideration I have a line on a few different filters at a reasonable price and wonder opinions as to what pump and what filter I should use.
The first filter is a Hayward c2030 225sq. ft cartridge.
The 2nd is a Jandy CL580 580 sq. ft cartridge filter.
Big difference I know......I have a friend with a 16x32 IG and uses a 150 sq ft cartridge filter and his water is beautiful....I always thought it was to small but....
I will run 2" hard line for the plumbing to help with flow.
Any opinions or advice is greatly appreciated.
