Does this pump cost more money to run then a 3/4 hp

My previous pump was 1 HP; I upgraded to the 1.5 HP and have been running it for well over a year now but have not noticed an increase in my electric bill as a result. I am very happy with the performance and especially that it is so quiet

no, but we had problems with the small holes in the filter part. It would only run 15 min and stop till it was cleaned. that's every 15 min. we had to take the filter out.

The pump is designed for maximum output with an engine of 13 hp. This hooks right up to a honda GX390 which is what i am using in my application. I bought and used my pump this summer and it seems to work well. no complaints.

I can't answer your question, but mine is running for over two years without any glitches on a 1.5 HP filter pump

Hi Ryan, I had a Chevy 454 with a Quadrajet 4bbl carb and it supplied more than enough. These are rated actually more gpm than the stock engine mounted pump. It should supply up to 300hp. Its a type of pump you want to splice in and mount as near the fuel tank as a pusher pump.

I am not sure,I did buy it to use with my 1/2 HP,but I checked the amps on my pump first. I havent tried it yet

I use a 1.5 HP pump. I am not certain of a min. pump spec, but feel certain that 1HP would be sufficient, also.

It's 1/2 HP. Yes confusing by what some sellers publish because they are "boiler plating" their product information. So don't go by pictures either. When in doubt go directly to manufacturer website and get model information. This is a fantastic pump. Quiet but moreso...efficient.

Yes. I ran my 3/4hp well pump and other high-draw tools without a problem. This generator is fantastic- starts every time and runs like a champ.

Based on my experience with these devices, running on variable speed should only change the flow rate in GPH. I run a 3/4hp pump on mine 8 hours a day in the off season and 12 hours a day in the summer. I can say that these devices make your pool more efficient in regards to how much turnover the pool has with the water. Hope this helps.

I'd say that is quite possible. You will most likley need an electrical upgrade to handle the 3 HP pump. Hope you planned that. MJ

Probably not. The replacement pumps seem to be noisier than the factory pumps. However, it shouldn't run more than a few seconds.

Yes a 1 hp pump is fine. The filter comes with a flow restrictor disc so if your pump exceeds the recommended gpm the disc compensates for that. It's explained in the owners manual.

This pump has 4 speeds and will do a great job with what you are trying to accomplish. Depending on your pool's capacity and filter type, you will probably be able to run it normally at the second speed and then use the 3rd or 4th speed for when you run your rover. Since you are replacing a 1 HP with a 3 HP VFD, you will see a measurable difference.

It is a 2 speed pump. I'm guessing the top speed is (which is high) would be 2 hp and the low speed would be 1hp or less.

Not for sure, but my pump is a 1.5 hp. You my not have enough power to operate this filter. Cannot say yes.

I have used this on B&S; 4.5 and 5.0 HP models. It worked fine on each model. I've never had a 3.5HP to try it on.

I have used the HC8000 for a couple of years with a 1/2 HP pump and no issues.
