I have a Hayward s244t sand filter. My pool is 22,000 gallon. I have Hayward pump HP1 Amps 15.0/7.5 HZ 60 Volts 115/230. After chechking some websites...It seems that the pump is just the right amount size.

I believe it is the lateral. I have a top mount sand filter. I am kinda scared to examine the laterals because of the pipes. Do I cut them or what? I am not sure what to do...I check for some videos on this but can not find a top mount...only the side mount. My question is do I cut the pipes or pull/unscrew them and reassemble when I am done?

thanks,

Steve
