I am having problems with my current sand filter system. I don't think that it's big enough to carry the filtration. I am constantly having to backwash... It's a 17x32X5' intex pool. I am using the system it came with. Will a bigger filter system help my problem? I think its a 1 horse pump, but the sand tank is smaller. It hikds 100lbs. Of sand. Will this system be big enough? I need answers before I start replacing and it not solve the problem! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tammy, A bigger filter will be good but not necessarily a bigger pump. It will be better if keep your 1 HP pump but go with a bigger filter.
