Good Afternoon All...
I recently purchased a home with an inground pool and some no-name DE filter (I believe it's a 60 sq feet filter) that isn't working well. It's having to be backwashed daily, and this is even after completely taking the filter apart and thoroughly cleaning the media. I am contemplating purchasing the Pentair stainless steel series and just wondering what size to get. I'm inclined to the the largest size I can get (which I believe is rated for 72 sq feet), and just not put as much pressure on the filter. I'm just wondering if there is such a thing as having too big of a filter for the pool it's filtering. Is there any downside to having too large of a filter, and if so, what are the bad points about it? The pool is an oasis type with a 3.5 shallow end and 6.5 foot deep end. It also has two waterfalls and a hot tub, if that makes a difference. Any and all feedback offered is greatly appreciated.
