do i need to upgrade hose conversion adapters to 1.5 size if i'm buying a bigger sand filter. Right now I own an intex 10 by 30 metal frame pool.

I looked up you're pool . I'm pretty sure that pool has 1.25 hose and every sand filter I looked at had 1.5 intake and return so without looking at you're pool my answer would be most likely yes

This adapter should work well if your original pump was the 800 gallon per minute or 1,000 gallon per minute pump. I had a slightly larger Summer Escapes pool (18' x 5') that came with a 2,000 gallon per minute pump which requires a larger adapter (that does not appear to be produced by anyone at this point) se we ended up leaving the old pump attached but not using it. Once we had it set up, the sand filter worked much better than the original cartridge filter.

If I understand your question correctly, sounds like maybe you have the wrong size hose from the pump back to the pool. Are you going through a sand filter?

I removed the nuts from the adapters and put a 1 1/4 flexible coupling over that end. It's a tight fit but it will go on. And then you can place that over the end on your pool. Secure the hose clamps and you're in business. I don't have any leaks. I also purchased the intex skimmer plate so that I can vacuum the pool easier. I just use the top hat looking pieces that came with the pool to keep water from flowing out if I have to do anything with the sand filter. It beats paying through the nose for plunger valves

The filter will take about 100 - 120 pounds of sand. The salt will depend on the size of your pool. The instructions with the unit will tell you exactly what is needed. Very easy system to set up. If you have a small pool you will need the Intex 1-1/2" to 1-1/4"hose adapters.

Always use replacement pump with same horse power as the original pump. If the C225 filter is same size as original, and original pump was 1.5 hp, as this pump is, then will be ok. If you are going from a sand filter to cartridge filter, I am not sure how the flow rates need tomatch up. Sorry I could not give more help.

Depends on your pump connections. If you do need hardware it will probably be a couple of extra clamps. If you are using a intex pool you will probably need the adapters also sold by Amazon. Depending on how far away from the pool you might also need to purchase extra hose. The ones that come with the kit are a little short. You can purchase the hose from a pool supplier for about one dollar per foot. It's actually an easy install.

Should be fine but you must have the sand filter pump, mine is intex ultra 18x48 round with intex sand filter pump work fine. The pump came with the pool no power. Have fun!!

Your best bet is to take one out of your filter tank and measure it. As I recall its got to do with the length and not diameter. I used DE filter on two pools for 20 years. I jumped to a Sand Filter. Wish I had jumped years ago. Functionability and operations is sooo much better with a sand filter. The price to replace the filter fingers made me throw away the DE and go to sand.

That is the size pool I have. It works okay, but next time I have to replace it, I am going with the next size up

Yes, if it is the kind that mounts to the side of the pool than you will. Just install this (I used a little bit of silicone too around the O ring) and plug in your new hoses for your sand filter.

Sure is, but you'll need to cut the holes larger for the hoses to fit. I have an older pool that still had the little black parts where you put the hoses in. Those need to be removed by cutting and the hole enlarged. Have a vinyl repair kit on hand in case you make too large. The pump works so well with my older intex 13 ft metal framed pool but I'm going larger next year! Love this pump so worth it!

Yes. The inlet and outlet are threaded 1.5". I replaced the sand filter on our smaller 7,000 gal. in-ground fiberglass pool with this filter and have had excellent results. We are into our 2nd season and other than clogging up with dead algae at the opening, these filters last a long time. I suggest buying an extra cartridge to alternate and clean them with a pressure washer.

we upgraded to the intex sand filter you would have to look it up but we have no issues with the vacuum it works great and we get good suction using the sand filter. Hope this answers the question for you!

the included adaptors are for 1 1/2 in, the openings are threaded 1 1/2 in pipe thread, I use standard 1 1/2 in pool hoses ,like the ones you would use for a pool vacuum cleaner and hose clamps. these are good pool heaters, use a solar cover when not in use to retain heat,I am using 4 panels and can get my pool so hot it is uncomfortable. my pool is under a 20 by 20 portable shelter, and the panels drape over the top and are connected in parralell series, with a 2500 gph pump dedicated to just the heaters. I hope this helps,.

I also have an older pool built in 1974 with a 3/4 Hp pump and 1 1/2" pipes. This will allow you to move more water thru your pool with less filter flow restrictions. I also love it as I can sometimes go months between filter cleans as opposed to a small or undersized filter. I have an 18k pool myself

The size of the pool is not directly relevant. You're going to need either the SF of Heywood Pro-Grid filter media or the model of the filter.
