Q: Hi there. We have a s-200 sandbag and like to replace it. Our pool is a 20000 gallon in ground pool. Can we replace with a top mount valve one, like S210T top mount filter? Current one is a side mount filter. Please recommend the best fit in your view. Thanks in advance!

A:
Hi, filtration needs vary with location, and bather load, but in general a S210T would seem too small for a 20,000 gallon pool. Contact a local Hayward Authorized Dealer for further assistance in choosing the right filter for your location. You can find...

Q: I have an s-200 high rate sand filter & am getting sand back into the pool when the filter is started after being backwashed or any time the filter is shut off. I want to replace the insides of the filter with part S-200-MA if available. If not what do you recommend replacing the part with.

Q: I currently have an inground 24,000 gallon pool with a Pentair 1.5 hp variable speed pump and the Hayward S 200 sand filter. I’m moving my equipment and would like to replace the sand filter. No current issues, would like to replace with the same or similar since current sand filter seems pretty old. I understand the S 200 is discontinued. What model would you recommend?

A:
Hi, to keep with a side mount filter we would recommend the S244S. Since you will need to do some replumbing though you could also consider a S210T top mount filter.

Q: 24,000 gallon in ground pool. S200 sand filter system with 1.5 hp pump was installed in 2019. Filter has done a good job until this year. Having problem getting pool water clean. Chemicals in pool are within tolerance. Sand was installed when filter was new. Should I change filter sand?

A:
Hi, you are most likely due for a sand change at this point. It could have caked and compacted to the point that water can no longer flow through it. For help with this contact a local Hayward Authorized Service Center. You can find a list of them by...

Q: This filter is listed as a direct replacement for my Old S200 High Rate sand. The ports on my tank are 2" inside diameter. I have a Variflow valve SP0710X32NP. The pipes going into the sand tank measure 2" outside Diameter. What are the exact diameters for the Tank and included valve? I am hoping to not have to replace the valve as it was done a couple years ago. Thanks David
