Yes, you can typically use a pump that was previously used with a cartridge filter for a sand filter, as long as the pump's specifications are compatible with the sand filter's requirements. However, you should ensure that the pump’s flow rate and horsepower match the needs of the sand filter system to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, it may be necessary to adjust the plumbing connections to fit the new setup. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for both the pump and filter to ensure proper compatibility.
The pump should be of when moving the sand filter control
I am assuming you mean 1.5 horse power pump.. Pumps do not take sand, the filter does. I would need to know the make and model of the filter to tell the amount of sand
140# of sand is required.
A 26-inch sand filter typically holds between 150 to 200 pounds of sand, depending on the specific model and manufacturer. The sand used is usually of a specific grade, commonly #20 silica sand, which is recommended for optimal filtration. It's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the exact amount needed for your particular filter.
If you are getting sand coming into the pool and have a sand filter you may have to replace worn laterals in the sand filter.
Plugged pump, very dirty filter. Do you actually mean the filter or the pump. Filter is big tank. Pump is small unit with motor attached.
For a ProLine 20-inch sand filter, you'll typically need about 200 pounds of sand. It's important to use the correct type of sand, usually #20 silica sand, which is specifically designed for pool filters. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific model to ensure optimal performance.
Yes because the algae can clog the pump from pumping because the algae may start to grow around it then in it
A small sand filter 40-60 sq ft. and a small pump 3/4 HP
Firstly, the pump is not a sand filter system. The pump is the one with the motor attached and it pumps water not sand. The large round tank is the "sand" filter. You would have to find a skimmer made for vinyl pools with gaskets. It attaches to the wall of the pool and is seen "hanging" from the outside of the pool. The type of pool and equipment have no factor in choosing a skimmer. another good way to go is the Dragonfly Super skimmer this is a floating pool skimmer and only requires a hose to connect it to suction
The "backwash knob" - usually called the handle - is located on top of the filter or just to the side of the filter on a sand filter. They could be on the very bottom of the filter or to one side of the filter but never on the pump. The filter is the large tank.
