From http://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/pools4.html - Learn about cleaning cartridge filters for your swimming pool at home. Phosphate-free degreasing detergents are the most common product and are available at pool and spa stores. A very decent and cheap alternative is phosphate-free granular dishwasher detergent used with hot water. Typically you do not want to buy your pool chemicals from anywhere other than a pool supply store, but for washing your cartridge filters, a cheap granular phosphate-free dishwasher detergent is completely acceptable. However, if you have scale that needs to be cleaned from your filter, start with the detergent soak and cleaning, THEN you can proceed to removing the scale with a very mild acid wash. If done in the wrong order your cartridges will become unusable because the oils will be baked into the paper of the filter. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wibteH8x31g
From http://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/chemistry.html - A vinyl liner swimming pool does require calcium in the water as having zero calcium would promote suds in the water. Additionally, and more importantly, if the water is deprived of something it will try to seek its own water balance by leeching calcium from other metals in your pool system.

http://www.SwimmingPoolSteve.com - SVRS stands for Safety Vacuum Release System and this refers to pool pumps that have an added security feature to prevent from someone becoming trapped and drowning due to an entrapment hazard. If a pool pump were plumbed in such a way that the main drain of the pool was an isolated suction line direct to the pool pump then this would be an entrapment hazard. This is also true for hot tubs. In 2002 Virginia Graeme Baker died as a result of an entrapment hazard caused by a faulty main drain lid in a hot tub which lead to the VGBA - The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act. Many residential pools in North America are still not compliant with the safety standard established with this law. SVRS pumps are not required, but are a supplemental form of protection against accidents due to entrapment hazards in pools and spas.

From https://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/vs-programming.html - In this video, a comparison is made between a single speed pump running for 8 hours per day on a variable speed pump running for 24 hours per day on a 16'x32' pool moving about 57,000 gallons of water. This video is a follow up to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeoFtXOlnEU&ab_channel=SwimmingPoolSteve where a direct comparison is made between a single speed pump and a variable speed pump both moving the same volume of water per day, 38,000 gallons. These examples show how variable speed pumps can provide more filtration for lower costs than single speed pumps.

From http://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/pipe-size.html - Learn about the maximum efficient flow rate for 1.5" PVC swimming pool plumbing. The approximate maximum efficient flow rate is 35 gallons per minute for 1.5" pipes and this equals about 6 feet per second of flow velocity. 35 GPM is by no means the maximum flow rate but it is the maximum efficient flow rate. Above this point, there is an drastically increasing efficiency loss with the flow of your swimming pool water through your plumbing and filtration system.
