I have the Hayward Super Pump. Not sure of the HP it was dark when I got home tonight. I'll check it and let your know.

I don't know what the minimum horse power is needed. We use a 1 horse Hayward Superpump in our system. Hope this helps.

Kreepy should work with the pump and motor you have now; it does not put an strain on the system. A satisfactory motor without Kreepy should work fine with it. OF more concern is the position of your return jets. if they are located near the to of the pool, they may influence the performance of Kreepy. That is, the water jet from the returns could push the Kreepy hose enough to cause it to go in circles and tie the hose into knots.

I think that flow rate is probably more relevant. Flow rate is the net production of water through the distribution system when considering friction and restriction. Enough flow rate it works great, not enough it doesn't work at all. I didn't mean to make this sound complicated... generally the Kreepy Krauly works fine. But if it doesn't now you know why!

1/2 hp pump motor works fine. It may work fine with an even smaller pump. Great combination of toos for the price. Well made. Great value.

It will handle up to 15 amps. If your pump pulls less than 15 amps the answer is yes. I have a 1 HP on mine and it works wonderfully.Hope this helps.Regina

As long as your pump runs on 110 volts and does not pull more than 10 amps, (1/2 HP or less).

I needed 3/4" inlets and outlets as well and this pump has 1" inlets and outlets but all you need to do is buy a couple of reducing adaptors at the hardware store which is what I did. I think Red Lion does sell a 1/2 hp pump but as I remember it was higher priced than this pump and had a cast iron pump housing and not stainless steel. That's what prompted me to buy this pump instead.

William,A 1/2 hp submersible pump should handle 60 psi with no trouble. I have an above ground pump with a deep well (bottom of well) jet that pumps 70 psi. I believe your submersible should do even better. Dan

There is no HP on it. It is a 115V 1.1amp sealed in oil motor. It's rated to pumps 170 gallons an hour off my pool cover. Then I unplug it when it all pumped off. Then plug it in when it rains again.

My pool is a 12x30 9ft deep pool. I replaced a 1hp pump witjh this one. It hasn't missed a beat. I the hp is comparable, you shouldn't have a problem.

My old 2 HP Jandy pump ran at 2400 watts. The new one is only using 950 watts @ 2650 RPM. Huge savings.

I believe it is 1/4 hp. You can find all the details at the Simer website. This product has worked GREAT for us. Using it for a basement laundry, utility sink, and dehumidifier drain. Pumping about 8' up to main drain, never had any problems so far (had it about 6 months)

The Sanibest Pro is 1 HP. It is capable of pumping 25 ft vertically via a 3/4 inch discharge line. Full specs are available on our site. Let me know if I can help. Thanks, Mark The SanifloStore

Advertised to do 1250-1450 GPH- but that will depend on the depth from which you pump. It is a good pump and buy estimation, I think you can calculate it will pump at least a 1000 GPH from a depth of 10 feet on a continous basis if it is a new pump and a steady electrical flow of 110 V. The weight is due to cast iron. In years past when it was made in Wayne, Ohio and not China, I think it was made of aluminum and very easy to handle.

I don't know the answer to that, however, I use them under 3-5 HP water booster pumps and they work fine. I have also used them under whirlpool (Jucazzi style) bathtubs pumps as well. Hope this helps you some.

My best guess is that the pump circuit is very dry and it needs to be primed with an EXTERNAL hand pump. They are avaiable for a small sum.

Old pump was 2 hp and 3200 watts; new pump dialed down to 1450 watts or estimate 1 hp. Saves about $90/m at 8 hrs/day and $.33/kw in southern cal.

Keep the 1 hp pump. The intelliflow will actually cost you more then a regular 1 hp pump.

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.
