When should I change the sand in my filter?
Reply
You should change the sand in your filter every 5-7 years. You can generally tell that it is time if your pool water is not as clear as it normally is or when you notice the interval between backwashes is shorter. You can use > this guide to walk you through it.

What is the minimum flow rate through a TR-140C filter?
Reply
For the Pentair Triton C TR140C Sand Filter, the maximum flow rate is specified at 141 gallons per minute (GPM), based on a filtration rate of 20 GPM per square foot over its 7.06 sq. ft. filtration area .While the manufacturer does not explicitly state a minimum flow rate, it's essential to ensure that your pool's circulation system provides sufficient flow to achieve proper turnover and filtration. Typically, a flow rate of 1 to 2 GPM per square foot is considered a reasonable minimum for sand filters, which would correspond to approximately 7 to 14 GPM for the TR140C model.However, operating at such low flow rates may not provide adequate filtration for most pools. Therefore, it's advisable to aim for a flow rate that allows the entire pool volume to be filtered at least once every 8 to 12 hours, depending on usage and environmental factors.To determine the appropriate flow rate for your specific pool, consider factors such as pool volume, pump capacity, and desired turnover time.
