    Thankyou so much. I am going to look into getting a smaller pump. Since no mention was made about the filter except the pump is grossly oversized for it. I'm thinking it's big enough for my volume of water. I don't see DE shooting out and it holds the 1lb. pressure rise.

    Sloop,
    I have a 1 1/2 HP pump on for my IG pool. There is over 50 feet of lines running underground with the pump and filter above (elevation) the pool. Just a bit of over-kill for your setup :-D
