The ideal filter size for a pool depends on several factors such as the size of the pool, the type of filtration system, and the desired filtration capacity.
Generally, the filter size is determined by the pool's volume or water capacity. As a rule of thumb, the filter should be able to circulate and filter the entire volume of water in the pool within eight hours.
To calculate the ideal filter size, you can use the formula: Pool Volume (in gallons) ÷ 8 = Minimum Flow Rate (in gallons per hour or GPH). However, it's important to note that this is a very basic calculation and other factors such as pool usage, debris load, and environmental conditions might require a larger capacity filter.
It is recommended to consult with a pool professional or a manufacturer to determine the ideal filter size for your specific pool requirements.
