Replacing pumps/filter

[kix1979]

Another question - Sizing a pump seems to be based on the intake sizes, 1.5" = 42GPM etc..., but what about the return? Does everyone just assume they are all the same size and number or does it not matter as much on return since one 1.5" return may go to 2 or 3 jets?

You can increase the size of your return pipe to 2", and then downsize to the returns--they are usually a standard size.

But...how big is your pool, and what kind of pump and filter did you have, and how long did they last? Do you REALLY need to replace both or just one? If either is OK you can replace the other.
