pump question

[CarlD]

If you go with an I/G pump, remember that you will probably need a lower HP rating--they are usually full-rated, rather than uprated.

I have 20,000 gal (approx) in an AG pool, but I have solar panels as well. I only have a 1hp Hayward Superpump and a 200lb sand filter. It's a two-speed and I LOVE it. I run it on low-speed 99% of the time.

I DEFINITELY recommend 2 speed pumps. Plus, sand filters run better when they are running below capacity, well below capacity.

Mine is simple--there's a speed switch on the back of the motor--I don't even bother with remote speed switching.

mark,

Thanks for the awesome replies.

When picking a pump motor I always look at my TDH (total dynamic head) first and then factor in my elevation difference between the pool equipment and the water level when factoring my PSH.

The bottom line is really simple, above ground pool pumps are for just that and inground pumps are for their applications. Don't switch between the two for the opposite application.

See ya,
