Hello, all.

I have an IG, 32,000 gal., vinyl lined with an Aquarite SWG. I use the BBB method and I LOVE it!

I would like to kick the old Jacuzzi Laser 250 and go with a D.E. filter. The D.E. seems to be easier to maintain and performs MUCH better than sand.

I have a few models picked out however, would someone please explain how to figure the "total head" pressure and how I can match my exisiting pump (Hayward 2605X7, 3/4 hp) to an appropriate sized D.E. filter? Perhaps a 36 or 48 sq. ft.?

Thank you.
