Thanks Kathie! We don't currently have a video covering that topic, but if you give a call to our customer care line at 1-800-574-7665, they could answer your questions in further detail.
Debra, great question! In your case, it would be based on personal preference. If you upgrade to a larger pump, you just need to be aware that the connection sizes may be different and that it may be a little pricier. However, you’ll end up with cleaner water and would not need to run the filter as long.
Non-stop running of the filter is terrible advice. Typically a good rule of thumb is 1 hour per 10 degrees. So on a 90 degree day, run it about 9 hours. If you want to add an hour or two that's fine but shouldn't need more than that. Just run it during the hottest time of day. Recommending 24 hours is ridiculous....I managed a pool store so I'm educated on what I am talking about. You also don't need to shock every week. Often times you just need an oxidizer to free up any locked chlorine.
I agree. The DEE filter is a pain in the butt. Next time I am converting to cartridge
Great video. Do you have a video of converting a sand filter to a cartridge filter system?

Why not mention the costs of 1) Buying 2) Setting it up/connecting 3) Ongoing cost for identical size pool and pump?
If I buy a pool from Walmart, should I buy a separate pump and filter that is bigger or just use the one that comes with it?

@@Doheny Thank you.
Sand is so much better. Set it and forget it. Cartridges swapped out is a pain

I have that same exact de filter and it’s a bitch to maintain
