My pool is 15 X 30 and 6 foot deep. We had a smaller one before but it was suggested we upgrade so it isn't working so hard. Plus it cleans the pool more times. Very pleased with it.

It depends on how many gallons of water your pool holds, and also the size of pump. It should easily handle a 12,000 gallon pool equipped with a proper pump. You can make exact calculations by determining the volume of your pool in gallons, then checking the gallon per hour rate of this pump on the manufacturers website.

I am using it on a 11.5K gallon in ground with a 3/4hp pump. no problems whatsoever. the hayward site offers tips on determining size. this one was a bit bigger, i could have gone with a C900, but this filters more water in a shorter timeframe. You want to be sure it will circulate your entire pool in 10 hours. One note, you can go somewhat bigger on a cartridge filter, but dont do it on a sand filter.

I have used this sand filter on an eighteen foot by forty eight inch Intex pool for the last six years. You need to change the sand each spring.

I have a 13500 gal pool and a 1.5 hp pimp. I place the c751 in line with my 60sq ft DE filter and the cartridge filter does great. I should have done this a long time ago.

You maybe be able to step down one size. I have this same model (C3030) on a 14,000 gal Lazy-L in ground pool and it does an EXCELLENT job. Pressure change didn't indicate it needing a cleaning during the first season (although I cleaned it at the end of the season). Of course, that would depend on your particular location / pool usage / etc. It is a great filter, easy to service, install, etc. I'm very pleased that I purchased it. My previous filter was a 300 lb sand filter and there is no comparison between the two

Per pentair's website the 48 square foot filter turns over 46,000 gallons of water in 8 hours. This i'm sure depends upon the pump and plumbing meeting the filter requirements. I used the 48 sq ft filter because I was replacing "in kind". You may wish to visit http://www.wikihow.com/Select-the-Correct-Filter-Size-for-Your-Swimming-Pool for a general discussion about filter sizing. Good luck!

You would need to do some research as I am not sure. My pool is only 10,000 gallons. There is probably some formula for how big of a DE filter is needed for a 30,000 gallon pool.

Thats the size pool I used this filter on for the second year now and it worked perfectly. No rust, no algea and very clean. Easy to operate too. You shoulld clean the electrodes like the book says after the first year. Easy.

I would use a larger filter for that size pool. I searched a few websites for size determination and this filter was on the upper size choice for my 13,000 gal pool.

In my opinion I would totally recommend the FNS plus 60 DE Filter for a 25,000 gallon pool as this filter will work more efficient than the FNS plus 48.I have had the FNS plus 60 filter for over 11 years and am very pleased with its performance.Thank youlight 125

Yes, our pool is 5,000 gallons. It works really well - will not go back to a paper filter!

We are currently using this filter with a 15' x 30' oval pool. Works great!

Nicole, I also have an 18x48 aluminum frame pool. I purchased this set up 2 years ago; it's perfect! No other filters are needed. This thing works like a dream. Once you get the salt balance right (easy add 3 40lb bags) you won't have to do anything else but vacuum all season!

About 2 bags or around 90 lbs.I filled this filter 3/4 full of pool sand.The pool water is still crystal clear. I use one gallon of vertex per week and a float dispersed full of chlorine tablets.I recommend after you get water clear, put water stabilizer into skimmer.It keeps the water clear all season long.My pool is slightly smaller at 48 inches tall. If you have a 1.5 horsepower pump this filter should work fine.I usually run my pump 8 hours a day.

I believe it should work for an inground pool. You will need to make sure you have the adapters to fit your filter system. This is only a guess.

Not at all. As a matter of fact this system will clean a above ground pool 15 x 48 very well. I have a 15 x 48 and love this system. This system will clean this size pool, but any pool bigger than this needs a larger filter sysyem. Hope this helps. Sheri G.

My pool was 10K gallons and the filter worked fine for me. I think this would be a good selection for your application.
