I've lurked for a while and love this site. I'm getting ready to overhaul my equipment and would like a bit of advice.
Location: Las Vegas, NV - gets freezing about 10 days a year and over 100 for about a month.
No heater or solar, but we are interested.
I've ordered the pop-ups already as the old ones were pretty beat up, but I need some help on the plumbing stuff.
From my initial lookups it seems that I'm a bit over powered.
I'm not sure if I need to stay with the 420 sqft filter, or if I can go down to a 320 sqft.
Other thoughts - I'm thinking about maybe running a solar panel on the roof, I know that will bump up the head space, but it's a close single story roof, so maybe not?
Yeah, a 1 1/2 hp VS pump is a great improvement.
The bigger the cartridge filter, the less amount of time you'll spend cleaning it. It can go longer between cleans.
