A 1hp pump seems too big for your pool and I think it may be too powerful for that filter (which I think is a 150 lb. sand filter, but not sure.) Let me check on this for you.

My apologize i'm a little confused. That pump and filter come as a set I thought. If 1HP is to large I can look for something smaller. Any recommendations?

Hi Tom;

That set is probably OK -- 1HP would be too much, if it was a real 1 HP, but somehow, they get away with some sort of screwy rating system with those AG pump/filter packages. It's probably less than a 1/2HP IG (in-ground) pump.

Ok thanks. I'll get it ordered then so it will be here when I set up. Appreciate all the advice from you guys. I dont feel so blind going into it now.
