Is this what you need to convert to sand filter from the cartridge filter?

I believe they work for either. We only purchased these because when we switched filter pumps we broke the seal trying to change out hoses.

It should, check the Haywood website they have specs for filter in pdf form. It does work much better than sand.

Yes, you can use the Summer Escapes Skimmer Filter Pump Conversion Kit on Amazon to go in place of the pump at the bottom of the filter then purchase a sand filter and pump which connects to the conversion kit.

If it is a sand filter you should be able to use it. It replaces sand on 1:1 ratio.

Per the hubby, there are two models, one for sand and one for DE. The numbers are slightly different. Ask at a Pool supply store, or an online pool store, and have the model number of your sand filter handy.

Probably not, simply because of the timer that controls both the saltwater system and the filter at the same time. Before getting this pool we had a separate salt system and used the sand filter, but since this came with the all-in-one system we decided to try it. We haven't had any problems with the cartridge filter and haven't had to change the cartridge all summer. It has been a lot easier than trying to use the two systems.

You can order them here, -but if you have a pool that big, I highly recommend converting to Salt water (saves big $$$ and time /very low maintenance to keep a crystal-clear pool) and using a Sand filter. Cartridge filters are questionable -even for Wading pools, and it's a constant struggle to keep it 'clear' (these filters just aren't up to the task at hand).

I've had cartridge filters and sand filters and I prefer sand filters. They are much simpler to clean - simply backwash - and you don't have to replace cartridges. Technically cartridge filters take out smaller particles than sand filters, but they are more of a hassle to clean and more expensive to use as they have to be replaced often, and I honestly didn't see much difference between the two as far as cleaning the water in my pool. You can also mix sand and DE in a sand filter for removing even tinier particles that using sand alone. Here is a short article discussing both sand and cartridge filters. http://www.poolsupplyworld.com/blog/choosing-between-a-sand-filter-and-a-cartridge-pool-filter/ I've had cartridge filters and sand filters and I prefer sand filters.

I have a sand filter and there is a screen it passes through before the filter. If you are set up similar to mine, Yes you can just utilize the one before the filter. Hope that helps.

Yes, your pump/cartridge filter will work with it. When you say plug in are you talking about ion unit? This thing works good with our saltwater. And sand filter system. You could get a sand filter for a good price right now. 18' round how many gallons? We had has to use filterpump bypass when ionizer went out. We had to replace pump 16x32 15,000 gallons. Sand pump 2450 gallons per hour. 218.00 sand last up to 5 year without changing it. Filters ok but saltwater/sand filter best.

Hi, I remember cutting the holes to fit when I added a GAME Sandpro filter and things have been fine. Good Luck!

I ended up having the adapter from previous filters and it worked with these. Just recycle them and you will be fine.

I'm not sure which Pentair sand filter that is, but it should fit. The opening on the filters are the same size in diameter. Our sand filter was a Pentair and it fit ours.

I have had various types of filters and have found that a DE filter is better than either a sand or cartridge filter system. Of course, the decision on which sytem to use should take into consideration the size of the pool in question.

This is designed to fit inside of a cartridge filter. We used to place ours in the old clorinator we didn't use but it started leaking. It is not designed for sand filtration systems.

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.
