I have a slightly bigger 4 ft deep pool, and used a Hayward 16 inch for years. Just spent the afternoon putting together a new one.

I would call a local pool store and ask them what their recommendations would be for your pool. I personally would go for the bigger filter but I feel its best to check with a pool place just to be 100% sure.

I would use a larger filter for that size pool. I searched a few websites for size determination and this filter was on the upper size choice for my 13,000 gal pool.

It depends on the size of your pump. The type B will fit a 1500 gph pump (I believe). If you have a smaller pump, it would be an A. When I had an 18X48 Intex metal frame pool, it required size B filters, so I'm not sure why they don't fit.

Yes, the hp and the filter will definitely handle a 22' pool with ease! This item is awesome, I love mine!

Yes it will , We had a lomax filter since the beginning of our pool , never realized how bad filter system the contractor selected , maybe it was cheaper. After a long searching we decided to go with this Hayward Pro. It was the best move we did, not only is good , it keeps the pool very clear with much lees chemicals. The only problem is the pump is only for above ground pools not in ground, but the price was good comparing to local pool supplies . Hope this will help you . Steven

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.

You would probably want a larger pump... 1.5hp. This one is great for my 18 round (7000 gal) pool. I was very happy with the quality and the filter size would probably suit your pool.

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 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.

If you plan on running an pool vacuum from your filter you may want more power, that's the mistake I made. If you are not going to be doing that, then this pump should work. It's a good filter, but you're on the border line of whether it's to small. If you do get it you'll have to run it all the time compared to a more powerful filter. Sorry I couldn't help more. Hope all goes well

Basically the difference is that the 18" is going to be able to filter more. The size and location of your pool will determine how much filter you need. We live in the high desert of Los Angeles County. The wind blows all the time and we have trees from the city street behind us that overhang our property. There isn't a whole lot we can do about those elements so we needed a much bigger filter in order to keep our pool clean. Between sand , leaves, and other tree matter, the small filter that came with our pool just didnt keep it clean. On top of that, we have sun just about every day of the year so algae is another big reason we went with the bigger filter.

I don't think so, my pool is a 18 x 36 and it does a great job, my pool has 29,860 gallons. I called a pool place and asked them what they would recommend, they told me 1 hp but I got the 1 1/2 hp. Obviously they were a lot more expensive than amazon, even with a pool company putting it in for me it was still cheaper. Hope this helps.

It is an excellent filter and will do a great job for you. I have a 26,500 gallon pool and used a sand filter, the water always looked ok, when I changed to the Hayward DE filter the water looks polished! My installer told me they are his favorite filter. I wish you luck.

I have a 16 x 48 pool and have ordered the 2500 gph krystal clear pump. Do I need these adapters?

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 am using it on a 11.5K gallon in ground with a 3/4hp pump. no problems whatsoever. the hayward site offers tips on determining size. this one was a bit bigger, i could have gone with a C900, but this filters more water in a shorter timeframe. You want to be sure it will circulate your entire pool in 10 hours. One note, you can go somewhat bigger on a cartridge filter, but dont do it on a sand filter.

Yes my pool is 16' x 32' and I was able to make work. This size pool would be no problem
