    We found Borax at local grocery so I'm good there.

    On the tab feeder, would it be best to remove it to improve flow?
    Pool: 40K gal, 20' x 50', 8' deep - In-ground / Concrete w/ Zeron epoxy paint ● Pump: Hayward Super Pump (2HP) ● DE Filter: Nautilus FNS - 48 ft^2 ● Valve: Pentair SM-20-2; SWG: Pool Pilot with CC-15 cell

    I'm not sure. You may not WANT more flow; your filter performance will be better if the flow is under 50 GPM, but with a 2" multiport, and a PacFab Challenger, you may run 80 GPM if you take the feeder out.

    Take some better pictures, so the whole motor and pump labels are legible, and also take some overall pictures of your equipment layout. You may need to replace the impeller on the pump -- which will reduce flow AND electrical usage
