Re: Is my sand filter sized right?
Sand filters work MUCH better at low flow, but you have to backwash at high flow.
To actually know what your flow will be, I'd need pump curves AND a detailed layout on your equipment. But 1/2 the flow for 1/5 the electricity is probably in the range.

I've got some pictures I would like to send ya or post if there's a way. I know how to do it in other forums, but I noticed you have pics disabled in this one.

Re: Is my sand filter sized right?
send them to poolforum@gmail.com, and I'll post them -- I'll look to see if there are problems with the permissions in this section at the same time.
