How do you size a sand filter for a pool?
Filter Size The filter flow rate must be rated at least the same GPM as your pump, or higher. With pool filters, it’s best to err on the larger size so it can handle the power of your pump. A helpful rule of thumb is to choose a filter with at least 1 square foot per 10,000 gallons pool capacity.
Can a sand filter be too big?
No. The reason being is that there is no true “minimum flow rate” of a filter. The tank may take longer to fill up if we have a ½ HP pump on a 800 pound commercial sand tank but the filter will still scrub the water to the same standard.
Do you still use chlorine with a sand filter?
Sand filters use chlorine because the sand is added for filtration, but chlorine sanitizes the swimming pool water.
