Will this work good for a 18,000 gallon pool or do I need a bigger filter?

I have a 13,500gal. I have no issues. I am running a 1 1/2hp pump. I already had this pump. I believe I could go lower. IMO I think it would be fine.

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.

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.

It looks like my filter for a 12 by 24 pool. I don't remember how many gallons that pool holds.

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

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.

Dont know. This filter will only work for a small pool reguardless what they claim. I finally went to a sand filter and the water is very clear and very little work to maintain it.

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

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

I would have the same answer. Look in your owners manuel or find the model number on the unit itself. The Manuel will tell you the filter you need. If you only have the model number look up which filter is required by your model number. The 18 and 24 are gallons per day the RO will process.

About 2 bags or around 90 lbs.I filled this filter 3/4 full of pool sand.The pool water is still crystal clear. I use one gallon of vertex per week and a float dispersed full of chlorine tablets.I recommend after you get water clear, put water stabilizer into skimmer.It keeps the water clear all season long.My pool is slightly smaller at 48 inches tall. If you have a 1.5 horsepower pump this filter should work fine.I usually run my pump 8 hours a day.

My pool is a 4500 gallon and it worked fine. Just remember to CLEAN the system periodically or it will fail.

Here is a link to calculate the size filter you need. Lot of variables to consider.I would go larger than the C3030.http://www.wikihow.com/Select-the-Correct-Filter-Size-for-Your-Swimming-Pool

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

Yes. This filter will work fine on the pool you describe. I put one on a system with similar specs and it works great!

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!

You will have to check with the manufacture. The pool I use it on is under 6,000 gallons. For my use it works perfectly.
