It's common for AG kit manufacturers to oversize pumps, because pool purchasers naively assume that more HP = better performance. And, it's cheaped to increase pump HP than it is to increase filter size.

Do you have a model # for your pump? Not all 1.5 HP AG pumps are that "large" and most are smaller than 3/4 HP IG pumps.
