I have been looking at used sand filters on Craig'southward list and had a person transport me a pic of the label to attempt and decide what size information technology is. People hither on the forum recommended I go with atleast a 19" sand filter. The characterization gives measurements it says nineteen" height and 16" diameter. Just wondering which measurement I should exist going off of?

Bore.

Exist cautious of Craig'due south list equipment. If you have to replace the internals, gasket, and multiport you may as well buy a new unit. Recall, this is a pressure vessel. Y'all do not want one that is compromised.

Take intendance.

Also, if in doubt, y'all could give us some more information about your pool (besides add it to your signature), and nosotros could tell yous if the filter is a good match for your pool size and equipment.

The diameter is normally the decision-making measurement for sand filters. The 16" might be big plenty, but you have that i hp pump and so it'd likely be likewise much flow for that filter.

If we were close enough together, I'd give you my old 24" filter and 1 hp pump. I'chiliad agape that aircraft them from Alabama to Idaho would be nigh the cost of a new one.

Anyway, wait for a filter about xix" to 22" diameter or even larger will work.

Personally, I'd pass on the used Craigslist filter. Firstly, it appears besides small; Secondly, there's a very good chance there's a reason they are selling it (spider gasket leaking, etc); Thirdly, you lot can get a new filter and multi valve for under $300 on Amazon or at any of the mail order pool supply houses.

Non worth the risk of plumbing it all in, only to find in that location's a problem.

I would suggest that you size the filter based on the pump.

I propose finding the menses rate of the pump at 20 ft of caput, then using the post-obit equation.

√(F x iii.05) = radius of filter in inches.

For case if the flow is 60 gpm at xx anxiety of head.

√(60 ten 3.05) = 13.5 inches radius or about 27 inches bore.

That gives you four square ft of sand surface area and about 15 gpm per square foot.

Hey! Besides in Alabama. You still have that filter? We rent and ours cracked concluding summer. Landlord is threatening to demolish our puddle because he doesn't desire to replace the pump. Would love to purchase a used one if possible!!

Really that's a bad sign and yous should not be paying for a pump for the land Lords puddle, they will annihilate the pool eventually and so because there is always something that will cost money, and it is besides going to toll more to annihilate the pool then buy a pump.

If you're talking to me, Yeah I withal accept the filter and pump. If you have somebody coming this style I'll be happy to bank check it out and see if it will withal run.
