Before I changed my filtration system al together I used to have a cartridge filter that as it turned out was not big enough to do the job properly, I ended up putting another filter in parallel to it and it totally fixed the problem and wasn't hard to do. It increased water flow and reduced the number of times the cartridge needed cleaning.
To ensure that your Hayward Micro Star Clear C225 filter is not reaching maximum pressure without a pressure gauge, you can monitor the flow rate and the cleanliness of the filter. Regularly check the water flow returning to the pool; a significant decrease in flow might indicate that the filter is becoming clogged. Additionally, perform routine maintenance by cleaning or replacing the filter media as needed, typically every few weeks or based on usage, to maintain optimal performance.
The vac system has to hook up the the skimmer not the Hayward filter. k
Depending on what type of filter you have. For example, a Hayward S180 uses 150lbs of sand, S244 uses 300lbs. This information is provided on the sticker that is located on the tank of the filter.
by restricting the flow and installing a pressure switch.
My Hayward sand filter doesn't have a liner. I just add the sand to the pressure vessel.

Since this is an HOB, the flow can only be adjusted by cleaning (increase) or adding media (decrease)
Sand Andre Pro 50 is a better filter game than the Hayward VL40T32 VL.
Hayward is a pump, filter and general pool products manufacturer based in the United States. It is also a California city in Alameda county.
The top of a Hayward pool filter typically features a round or slightly domed design, often with a lid that can be easily removed for maintenance. It usually includes a pressure gauge to monitor the filter's performance and may have a multiport valve for controlling water flow and filter functions. The exterior is often made of durable plastic or fiberglass, designed to withstand outdoor conditions. There may also be a label or markings indicating the model and operational instructions.
If, and only if, the horsepowers are the same and the fittings are the same size, yes. Don't change the horsepower of your pump without changing your filter without consulting a professional.
