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 can't not see why it would not work. This is what we have and it is working great. You will just have to use DE powder instead of sand I would think. If you call Hayward that will give you that information.

It should. Our pool is 28ft round and 4ft deep. We have been very impressed. Good luck!

Yes, that's what we did. Our pool is 27x52 round and this filter keeps the water crystal clear!!

Yes you can. DE filters clean the water quicker but you to replace the DE every time you backwash. Make sure the pump you have will line up with the filter.

It should, check the Haywood website they have specs for filter in pdf form. It does work much better than sand.

I believe so,,,,i have a 10,000 gallon 18x30 above ground pool and this filter works great for me.

The real question is will your Sand Filter pump work with the DE filter. I did not chnage my process I replacerd a DE filter with the same kind.Hope this helps. You will also need the black floor base that is sold seperately.

I'm not sure but I worked perfectly for our above ground pool with Hayward filter. I measured my filter out take size and looked up the replacement filter online at various pool sites to find out which filter out take could be used basted on screw hole configurations. I then found this filter on amazon, a lot cheaper than the online pool sites. I have had this one for over a year and it has worked wonderfully. It has worked much better than the original filter that came with my pool

You sure can. You just have to block your input & output water lines with plugs or if you have the plunger style valves, close them so the water doesn't come out. Then you can swap out the filter with no problems. This was the best investment I have made yet! Our pool is crystal clear with this new sand filter!!

The S244T Hayward filter is a great match for your pool . When you replace your pump make sure you move up to 1hp Or preferably a 1.5 HP pump for this application

I went to the Hayward website and checked the compatibility with the sand filter I had. It was on their website and it was a perfect fit. I recommend checking it out but at least you know that they ship a quality product and it is accurate. Good luck.

It should work with no problems. We ordered ours back in the spring and used it all summer long with absolutely no problems. This setup has saved countless dollars in filter replacement costs. We are disconnecting from our pool for the winter and storing until next spring to prevent freezing of the internal parts. You will not be disappointed with this one. Best wishes.

I did the same thing. If you had ordered the pool with the pump it probably would have come with the 530 gph filter pump. I found that it wasn't quite strong enough and replaced it with the 1,000 gph filter pump. They both take the Type A tall filters. I hope this helps!

This pump requires salt. The amount of salt used corresponds to your pool size. Sand would be used with a sand filter pump.

I have a 7X5X1.5 mts swimming pool and it works perfectly with a 2 horse power pump; it does not filter the very fine dust though as none of the sand filters do, it is much easier to clean and wastes less water than sand filters. You can remove the very fine dust that remains on the bottom of the pool with a slime bag installed on the return line.

The filter is not going to be a problem. I have this on 9000 gal with 3/4 hp just make sure you leave filter on enough to filter whole pool. Figure gpm that pump does.

I would say yes i have 24' pool i had to make some minor connecton changes for the pool line from the pump to filter. But this pump moves some water and its cheaper to run by about 20 dollars a month for me compared to my old pump. Hope this helps

Not for sure, but my pump is a 1.5 hp. You my not have enough power to operate this filter. Cannot say yes.

I looked up you're pool . I'm pretty sure that pool has 1.25 hose and every sand filter I looked at had 1.5 intake and return so without looking at you're pool my answer would be most likely yes

I have a 13500 gal pool and a 1.5 hp pimp. I place the c751 in line with my 60sq ft DE filter and the cartridge filter does great. I should have done this a long time ago.

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

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.

Always use replacement pump with same horse power as the original pump. If the C225 filter is same size as original, and original pump was 1.5 hp, as this pump is, then will be ok. If you are going from a sand filter to cartridge filter, I am not sure how the flow rates need tomatch up. Sorry I could not give more help.
