Has anyone had luck with this filter for an inground pool? According to Haywards website it says it is for inground pool use also???

I use mine for a 24 ft round above ground pool. 14000 gallons. I think it would do just as good on a 33 ft round pool. 20 something gallons. If you are considering using this on an inground pool, I would definately consult a pool specialist. If your inground pool was just a plain Jane type of pool , sure this would be fine, but on todays inticate below ground pipeing, itvmight nto be able to hqndle it or you would have to improvise on pipeing connections. Talk to your local pool outlet stores and ask them also.

The hose's won't fit. They are made for the newer INTEX pools. I had to cut and use special glue for the hose's to fit my older pool. Once that problem was solved; it's the best filter I have had. No issues and I have had very little maintenance issues with the pool. I keep the chlorine in the floating holder and run the filter for about 4 hours a day. The water is crystal clear. Of course I do vacuum about once a week.

This filter will match up great with your pool. Your pump is a bit underpowered, when it goes out try the Pentair superflow 1 hp. You'll have better flow and a faster turn over rate for your pool.

I believe it should work for an inground pool. You will need to make sure you have the adapters to fit your filter system. This is only a guess.

Above Ground Use Only. Inground Filter Systems are entirely different due to pvc piping configurations for their own individual pools.

Yes it will fit in a Hayward. As I used this filter in my Hayward 90 sq. filter so I personally say that it is a direct fit. Unfortunately you can not use any other size filter media without of course upgrading to a bigger Filter system.

My pool is in ground. I think the description may be a typo. I doubt any above ground pool would include such a sophisticated filtering system.

Kelly, I am no expert but I found the S160T sand filter link below which may help you. BTW, the SP160T seems to be the vari-flow valve P/N. Best wishes, Charlie http://www.hayward-pool.com/pdf/Parts%20Diagrams/S160T.pdf

I would have to see how it is set up to be sure, However; it is really simple. Instead of your filter coming out of the pool and going strait back in the hoses come out of the pool to your existing filter from there it goes into the salt water system them back into the pool. As long as the hose connections are the same there should be no reason it should not work. The hoses on my pool are just standard 1 inch plastic hoses. My pool is an intex, so it's completely compatible.

Have no idea. My pool is gunite and it did not work at all for me or my sister, I just replaced it with a Hayward XL.

Lynda, I replaced a DT filter with this cartridge filter. I noticed that the water in my 16x32 pool wasn't as clear at first. I read on line that you can add DT to the cartridge filter. Since I had some diatomaceous earth left over from my old filter, I added one scoop to the new filter through the skimmer, and in about two hours the water became crystal clear. The cartridge is just more porous than the DT. With a little help, it works great. Plus, it is so easy to deal with. Just take the top off the filter, and rinse the cartridge. It takes just a few minutes. I recommend it.

I'm not sure what kind of filter comes with your current pool. My pool had the round skimmer basket with a small black pump that attached at the bottom. I did have to get this piece when I put on my sand filter. It made the connection much easier and it does not leak. It basically replaces where the black pump attached to the bottom of the skimmer basket.

We do not recommend this size filter for a pool of your size. Get a larger filter. 1hp pump is fine though.

dont know i have only used mine on a intex above ground pool, using clorine in the water. no fish waste for the filter to deal with either.

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.

I went through three of the Intex cleaners in one season. Got tired of sending them back and bought a Hayward. Don't have to clean the filter screen on the Intex everyday. I run my Hayward thru the sand filter all day and the pool stays clean.
