I oversized my filter to reduce backwashing frequency.
It's huge Pentair TA100D at 30" diameter and rated at 100gpm.

I assume that a smaller 1/3 to 1/2 hp would be OK with this filter. I'm sure I'll still need to use my original 1hp to provide enough pressure and flow for a proper backwash cycle.

The chlorine generator should be able to self adjust itself with the changing flowrate. I may have to run it a little longer with the smaller pump.
