I was going to up grade to a 2hp and the shop said no way! So I stayed with a 1hp pump. I have about the same size pool! Running a waterfall and skimmer 1.5" PVC wide open and does a perfect job. Did your old pump do the job? You would probably be ok, but remember more pressure gives the chance for ur canister to fail! Catch 22! Hope that helps.

Yes it would help as my pool is a 14000 gallon. 1.5hp would be fine for that size pool. I am extremely happy with my Pentair 1hp.

It depends on the size of the filter. Moving water faster does not clean the water better. For advise 320-695-2899.

It would depend on what your pump output is. If your pump is at least rated at a 750 gph then you should only need the 750/850. I have a 166 gallon tank with a 1800gph pump with 4 jet outlets, plus a 1400 hydor koralia and it rocks my tank. If you want major turbulence then get the higher rated one. Remember the more motion the more that will go into your overflow and depending on pump and filter system, it may not be able to keep up with the additional water being forced into the overflow from the turbulence, resulting in over flowing your sump/filter system.

I have a 13500 gal pool and a 1.5 hp pimp. I place the c751 in line with my 60sq ft DE filter and the cartridge filter does great. I should have done this a long time ago.

try http://www.sunpumps.com/ I would have gone with all solar, but the payback is too long. The Hayward draws about 1/2 amp less than stated on manual/plate in my installation. Please note amp draw will be dependent on how much resistance the pump has. The higher the resistance the higher the amp draw at any given RPM.

I have the Pentair 830, it does steps, waterline, the entire pool. I had a Dolphin by diagnostics previously, the new Pentair is better.

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.

Yes but, Make you get 1.5 Hp Matrix filter. I have the 1hp matrix filter. I only have a 18 foot round pool.

It was a breeze to hook up. But I had bought the 2500 gph pump, and it has the 1.5 fittings. My old pump would have required a conversion kit because it's size is 1.25

i have the 1500, for a 110g (2x, one for each 110g tank) which is what the chart on hydor's site suggests. for a 150g, they suggest their 3200 and from what it seems (my two 1500's) are just right for the tanks they are in. i would suggest getting what hydor's site suggests. if you wanted to get two and use the wavemaker then get 2x 1500's not the 1150's, minimum. http://www.hydor.com/eng/prodotti-tecnici/movement-pumps/koralia-evo.php towards the bottom is the chart, i am sure its elsewhere on their site too

Well I have a 1 1/2 hp hayward pump and this filter handles it fine, very sturdy. I would think that an extra 1/2 hp would be fine for this model. Best of luck!Andy

NO.

I am currently running a 1/2 horsepower pump at the time. the pump was intended for a spa tub but it works well for my 22 foot above ground Intex pool.

while I can't say for certain I would assume you can use it with the hayward pump you listed. I am using it with a 1 1/2hp pump with no problems. call hayward to confirm it.

1.5 HP is the rating of the horsepower of your pump, not the electrical ratings i.e. 120/220 volts and 15/20 amps. This is rated for 15A. however the full ratings for this, state 1HP http://www.intermatic.com/en/Products/Pool_and_Spa/Specialty_Controls/Portable_Outdoor_Timers/P1100_Series/P1131.aspx which im guessing is refering to the pump it will be connected to. It doesnt make sense to rate electrical equipment like this with HP.

I'm not sure about the Max flo but the supper pump 1 1/2 is not as powerful as a standerd 1 1/2hp pump. You need to know your gpm needs. The super is a little small for a 28k gallon pool so runs for 16 hours a day. Still saves about 30$ a munth

I don't think so, my pool is a 18 x 36 and it does a great job, my pool has 29,860 gallons. I called a pool place and asked them what they would recommend, they told me 1 hp but I got the 1 1/2 hp. Obviously they were a lot more expensive than amazon, even with a pool company putting it in for me it was still cheaper. Hope this helps.

This filter will match up great with your pool. Your pump is a bit underpowered, when it goes out try the Pentair superflow 1 hp. You'll have better flow and a faster turn over rate for your pool.
