Good afternoon David,The Intelliflo would be a great pump to upgrade to, as far as the sand filter, if you are not having any problems with your current filter I would just leave it be until something goes bad on it and you have to start replacing parts on it. I would recommend a DE filter over a sand filter. www.inyopools.com/search_de_filters.aspx
