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?

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.

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....

I have 2 Mediums on a 100gal freshwater and they are the best filters ever. Been running strong for 8 years. That being said, get the large.

I can say I have the sd60 And it lags a little with my 15000 gallon pool and a 2hp pump.. I have to clean weekly when in use. I am still happy with it and it made a big improvement in my pool For 10000 gallons I think it would be a nice fit. I think my 2 HP is a little strong so the 1.5 would be betterGood luck

I too have a DE filter. I am not a pool expert nor claim to be one. However, it worked just fine on my Pentair series 4000 filter.I removed the cover, took out the old valve and installed the new. Very easy.

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.

The filter that can take up to that many gal per tank. A filter with a limit of 60 gal won't do much good with more then 60 gal. I use this filter on my 60 gal tank but I only put 40 gal in it. And I use 2 reverse power heads with underground filtration for my turtle and I only have to clean the filter 3 times a year. You can use 2 60 gal filters for your largest tank. Id go for the the filter that goes up to 75 gal for your 65 gal tank.

I also have a 24' pool. From the research I've done, one 4' x 20' panel should be enough. If you install it any distance from your filter pump, be prepared to do some plumbing. I recommend "little giant" 1-1/2" flexible pvc hose. It cost me around $95 for a 50' roll. As for the panel, I've only had mine in operation for two days now, so it's too soon to notice a difference.

I checked out my Fave YouTube pool video channel and he showed a DE60 quad, the filters looked the same size but I'm not sure if the material is the same as a Standard cartridge filter, mine is only cartridge, not hybrid DE. Looks the same but I'm not a pool pro. I suggest this channel search Mrdgvb1, helped me out. Hope this helps

There is no problem in using a filter bigger than what you need. Every model has a limit, as long the model is for a bigger tank than you have is OK.

Stay away from Hayward. The pentair fns plus is a very good and reliable filter. The thing about Hayward is that many of their filters are no longer manufactured and parts can be very hard to find.

I have an 18ft round pool and upgraded the pump to the intex 1600 Gph and filter and salt system and it keeps my pool crystal clear. I was going to buy the bigger pump and I am glad I decided on this one.

It's best to make sure it fits before purchasing, as shipping cost to send it back will be alot. If you only replace 3 times in 25 years, you are getting your money's worth. It's not cheap to keep a pool, and these filters are the best by far. A new filter will cost about 3 times the filter replacement (or about 2 times as much if you buy from somewhere else.) If your filter is 25 years old, it's not a bad time to put a new one in. That way it works the way it should.

I have same size pool. Based on reasurch before I purchased last time, I decided to stay with the T15.

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.

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.

I believe you need the Unicel FS 2002 which fits the 24 sq ft filters which I believe the Hayward DE2420 series are. The Unicel FS 2004 is designed for 48 sq ft filters which uses a 24 inch high replacement and would not fit. The Hayward DE2420 filter series is 12 inches in filter element height. What makes ordering somewhat confusing is that DE2420 refers to the sq foot (24) and the 24 does not refer to the filter element height of 24 inches. The FS 2002 is a 24 sq ft filter elements with a 12 inch height which I believe the DE2420 require. Of course I am not a tech and you should confirm youself. I highly recommend the Unicel replacements for a combination of quality and price.
