I have a 25,000 gallon pool. When purchasing a de filter is there any reason not to get the bigger FNS plus 60 over the FNSplus 48?"
272182
For a 25,000 gallon pool, I recommend the FNS plus 60.... The 48 would work, why stretch a smaller filter.

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

Mine is a Pentair FNSP 60 DE filter. Not sure if it would fit yours or not. Try checking with local pool supply store before buying.

I understand from a dealer that DE filters have a greater cleaning capacity than cartridges. If your pool is used heavily or gets a lot of grass, leaves or other debris the cartridge may not work as well for you and may need to be cleaned or replaced more often than you are cleaning you DE Filter. I have a cartridge filter with a pool that is caged and lightly used. In that application, the cartridge works very well and requires very little attention. I hose it off once per year and replace it every other year.

So what is your question. I am no expert on pool filters. I have had this filter since I bought my first pool, so my experience lies with this brand only. I know others who have the 30 and 40 series versions. This filter compared to those others is top of line. I am extremely happy I have and am using this filter. I have a 24 ft round - 52 " wall pool and this filter is more than adaquate to handle the size of my pool. I dont know what your issue is with the clamp on top, but as long as you follow the directions for tightening the band up, you should be fine. Tip- I use a rachet set with a deep bit to loosing and tighten the clamp. Open end adjustible wrenches will strip the band belt bolt. So what is your question. I am no expert on pool filters.

I agree with the others the fx6 is a great filter, but it is still necessary to do frequent water changes. No filter will do that for you.

I am using the 406 on my 60 gallon tank. Prior to that I had a 55 gallon that I was using the 406 on. I like it better than the 306. Some may say is a little overkill but that's how I like it.

Christy, a 24' pool most likely takes an SFS2000. I had replaced my SFS1500 after a year with a new one, which only lasted for 59 days. The unfortunate thing about that is that the warranty was only good for 30 days. I actually installed a stand alone pump and filter for my pool, and hard piped it all. I just couldn't justify purchasing another after such a short time. Hope this helps.

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.

I have 18 foot round Namco pool above ground. I bought 18 inch haywood S180T92S. This is a real good replacement for my clearwater filter. This sand filter cleans the pool in 4 hours. My pool 8,000 gallons of water. I love my Hayward S180T92S Pro Series pump and filter. I also checked namco pool store. The same pump and filter $750 plus tax at Namco pool store. Amazon shipping and tax in MA $408.

Depending on the size of your tank, the more circulation the better. I have a 60gal with a built in wet n dry sy1 (626) 915-3636stem. & I'm using the fluval 306 as 2nd filter. Got 4discus, 4angels, & 3silver dollar. 11 fishes doesn't seem much for 60gal. But the discus fishes are a good size. For what I have "YES" 2 filters works best & 10% water change every 3wks. Hope this helps u decide ?

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!

My pool is 18,000 gallons and this filter is at least one size larger than I needed...however I feel strongly that a filter system should have excess capacity- and the price difference was minimal so I deliberately purchased an oversize unit. I have been extremely happy with it. It keeps the water crystal-clear and requires almost no maintenance. (Just lubricate the o-rings periodically with a high quality lubricant) Keep a spare filter so you can just swap the extra one in while you clean the filter. My previous Hayward system was smaller - and lasted over 14 years. Hope that helps....

The hose's won't fit. They are made for the newer INTEX pools. I had to cut and use special glue for the hose's to fit my older pool. Once that problem was solved; it's the best filter I have had. No issues and I have had very little maintenance issues with the pool. I keep the chlorine in the floating holder and run the filter for about 4 hours a day. The water is crystal clear. Of course I do vacuum about once a week.

The fx6 will be fine and do an amazing job. You can angle the output flow to where it just skims the top of the water. I have a fx6 and a xxl api(Rena) on a 150g and it stays Crystal clear. Depending on amount of fish you still have to to maintenance on filters. Just not as often on the fx6. I clean mine every 2 weeks but 3_4 would be ok to wait. (Heavily stocked African tank)

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 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
