I found out that the pool I am getting does come with the basics including the following.

Waterway 1.5HP 1 speed pump with 22" Sand filter. Apparently this is a kit combo.

My pool is a 24' 54" deep round Emerald Isle (artesian). I am wondering if I would be best to buy a smaller pump since 1.5hp is over kill or just use this one? If I do can I still use the Waterway sand filter or should I get something else?

Thanks
