Default Swimming pool filter size help.

I have a 25000 gallon inground spa/pool combo (4 jets in spa) with 2
inch pipes and a 1 HP pump.

My friend is willing to give me his Hayward C12002 cartridge filter to
replace my very old 51 sq ft DE filter that is currently on the pool.

The specs of the Hayward website say that this cartridge filter is 120
sq ft with a designed flow rate of 120 GPM and an 8 hour H20 turnover
of 57,600 gallons. I am looking to run the pump for 4 to 8 hours per
day.

My question is, will this cartridge filter do the job or do I need to
look elsewhere for a new one?

Thanks,

Wes

not sure that turning over the water twice per day is adequate (if you run
it 8 hours)
left my book at work but I can check it out tomorrow if you still need the
help

It's plenty big enough. It will do what cartridge filters do, which may or
may not fit your definition of "do the job".
