my pool holds 6335 gallons of water. Is this the right filter and pump for my pool?

I have a 15 foot by 48 inch above ground pool, and this works great. I bought this pump because I plan on getting a bigger pool in the next couple of years, and I didn't want to end up with a filter and pump that would be too small. This pump and filter with a saltwater system kept my pool crystal clear all summer.

I use this setup and my pool is 24' round and holds around 13,000 gallons of water. U might want to look at smaller filter.

That would be way too much for that size. It probably will turn into a whirlpool. My pool is 25,000 gallons and it makes the water flow pretty good. Check hayward.com for correct gallons to hp and size ratio

Probably a little overkill, but will work. I have an 11000 gallon pool and it creates a pretty good current when it's running. To get the exact size you need, you have to calculate how much water a minute it can move, compared to the recommendations for your size pool. I just looked at the Hayward pools website for that info.

May be a bit of an over kill for your size but the best thing I did for the 10,000 gallon pool I have. Hope this helps.

No the pump that came with your pool is fine. I love my salt water pump. I just have to change the filter out every few days.

This one is the one you need. 24". This Hayward was flawless in its first year of service. Our pool is about 27,500 gallons and it filtered it with no problem. We have a Hayward Matrix pump doing the work. If you do not have a quality pump now, maybe buying both now is your best option for trouble free years ofService. Also, we have found just using normal pool sand in the filter does a better job than the expensive kind. LocalPool shop says to go 5 years with the normal pool sand if you backwash regularly and chemicals are adequate. Good Luck!!!!

I'm not a pool expert. But, I would say this pump/filter would be sufficient. I would buy it. Especially knowing the amount of water circulation in my pool after buying my Hayward filter/pump. I would think you would be very satisfied. You will need to buy a stronger vacuum hose and 6- 2" or 2.5" hose clamps! The hoses that come with the pump/filter will connect direct to your factory Intex water inlet valves!!! Terry

My pool is 15,000 gallons and this filter seems appropriate and to work very well.

Don't know what your set up is , but this is used in a plastic holder which goes on the suction end of the pump. My pond is around 400 gal. I use this filter just under the water line to filter junk out and change it two times a day.

18 X 48 pools normally come with a 1500 GPH pump. For the small difference in price, I would upgrade to the 2500 GPH model. I went through several pumps that were the size that came with my pool. I went to the next size up, & besides doing a better job of filtering, I haven't had any failures of the pump motor. I would also recommend the intex filters over those from Walmart. There's quite a difference in the amount of paper folds & they will do a better job on the small silt, etc. Be sure to get the right size. (Available from Amazon of course) Ron

In your case I would probably get the bigger filter. My pool is only 10,000 gallons and it does great but does require occasional back washing as the pressure goes up around 10 lbs. the bigger one should allow longer in-between back washing.

I have this filter on a 16x34 unground pool, so it should be more than enough.

i have a 21,000 gallon inground pool and i installed the hayward s244t pro filter last year as a replacement of the original. it will serve you well. jerry in slidell, la.

J - I don't have time to calculate the number of gallons in a pool that size... Mine is a 24 ft diamater round pool with 52-inch walls and holds 10 - 12,000 gallons of water. My Hayward 1 1/2 hp powerflow pump does an excellent job of circulating the water and the filter keeps the water clean. I am very content with the setup. My best advice is to buy more than the minimum you will need. My pool will operate on a 1 hp pump, but the extra 1/2 hp really helps. The pump won't have to work as hard, it will be quieter, you will have power when you need it (for vacuuming, etc.), and you will be happier.

That is exactly the size pool I purchased this filtration system for and it works great. I would recommend it. I run it for about 4-5 hours per day and it keeps the water crystal clear.

I use my pump for filtering pond water. It is very effective on a 1000 gal pond. I believe it would behave equally well. It pumps 1500 gal per hour. If your numbers are correct than it would cycle your pool water once every hour. You will be running it more than you wish though. Purchase a 2nd filter for quick change. Wash the old one off.

Don't think it is. My pool only @ 8000 gallons. Probably need a bigger pump

Yes. This filter turns over up 1500 gallons per hour. That's why it's called a 1500. I have a Laguna 2400 pump that's connected to this filter. My pond is 300 gallons, soon to be

22.000 gal is the max this filter can handle and keep pool clean. The pool you have I would estimate at about 9000-10.000 gal. This filter would be overkill. I would go with the Hayward S144T1540S Pro Series. Hayward makes a good filter and I think you will be happy. If you go to Hayward Filters web site you see what each model will handle. I tend to pick one that is a little bigger than I need. You wont have to run as much and save on electricity. Good Luck.

You can get the exact size filter info you need of the hayward website, or call their customer service. But to answer your question, yes this filter is over kill. My pool is 26,000 gallons and this filter was one size larger than I needed.
