I have a 16 x 36 ft inground pool (25000 gallons). What size filter do I need?

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!!!!

My pool is 17 x 40 and I used the Hayward S244T Pro and it keeps the water crystal clear.

My pool is similar in size. It's a custom kidney shaped pool that is about 18X36. This filter cleans it wonderfully. My pump runs 9:00 am to 9:00 pm and it works great. Look around and find a pump sizing chart and make sure your pump is matched to the filter. Love this unit. Like another poster says, about 5 years and change the sand if you backwash regularly and maintain the right water chemistry.

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.

I do not think this particular filter will work for that size pool capacity (ours is 15000-1800);I would look for a larger rated model,possibly from the same manufacturer ,but mind the previous reviews regarding BAD PACKAGING PRACTICES!(ours works well but we had an AWFUL TIME, 3 tries, to get one that wasn't cracked or missing parts) The units themselves worked fine when installed

I am not sure it was two small for mine and I am not sure of the size anymore as I had to get a new filter it was for a 18 fr round above ground d pool sorry that is the best I can do

It takes the big filter. I believe A size. I use an Intex sand filter with mine. The upgrade was well worth it.

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.

You really don't need a certain size filter. I use regular size filters by folding them to fit. Works for me!

I have an in ground pool size 18 x 36, 3 feet deep at the shallow end and 8 feet deep at the deep end. I have been using this type of filter since the pool was built in 1986. I have always and only used a 1 HP pump and my pool is sparkling clean. Finally, a DE filter is considered to be the best for filtration, even better than a sand filter.

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

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!

I buy my filters from filtersfast.com and they carry most sizes. I've bought my filters for both my home and my converted garage, which requires a unusual size of 18x30x1, from them for years and it's a great company with good prices and great customer service so far. I hope you can find what you need with them.

The opening for my filter is 16 inches vertically and 5 1/4 wide. Filter size is 16x5 so I think you need a different filter.

I have a 12'x30" above ground Intex pool. It works great, HOWEVER, you must order the adapter from the Circulator website if you have this type of pool. I STRONGLY recommend contacting Wes through the Circulator website BEFORE purchasing any adapters as there are a couple of different ones. Explain to him what your filter parts look like (white/beige, white/blue, etc) and he will get you the exact part you need. Otherwise, works great!

That is the size pool I have, and I followed this link http://www.bluefade.com/intex-filter-pump-compatibility/ (which is a conversion chart for pool pumps) to see if it would work for mine. Get the model # from your current pump and check the conversion chart.

Joe, get the model number off of the label on your Hayward filter and match it to the specs. It goes off the square foot number. I.e. 36, 48, 60 etc..

I actually bought the 16x25x4 filters. They measure a little more (.5 inch maybe) than the stated size. Hope that works.

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.
