I am replacing my old filter system, which was a 1 horsepower 80 sq foot for a 21' round above ground pool. Would this system be to Powerful?

I have a 24' pool and this pump is amazing. I had a sand filter before this one and it definately didn't keep the pool as blue and sparkly as this. I don't think it would be too strong, definitely efficient for sure!

I agree with the other comments. Excellent system and in Arizona monsoon season, there's no such thing as too strong a filter system!

No, it won't be too powerful! I wondered the same thing when I ordered our filter, but I have been so impressed by it's performance. The water is sparkling clean, the filter runs quietly, and it is easy to maintain. We had a DE filter for years that was ridiculously hard to clean. This one is so easy- just take out the cartridge and spray it with a hose. I wish I had bought this filter years ago.

Not at all. As a matter of fact this system will clean a above ground pool 15 x 48 very well. I have a 15 x 48 and love this system. This system will clean this size pool, but any pool bigger than this needs a larger filter sysyem. Hope this helps. Sheri G.

I would think so. Usually the parts all all the same size even if the pool is big or small. I agree you have to have a way to stop water flow when changing the filter.

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.

I also have an older pool built in 1974 with a 3/4 Hp pump and 1 1/2" pipes. This will allow you to move more water thru your pool with less filter flow restrictions. I also love it as I can sometimes go months between filter cleans as opposed to a small or undersized filter. I have an 18k pool myself

I am using it on a 11.5K gallon in ground with a 3/4hp pump. no problems whatsoever. the hayward site offers tips on determining size. this one was a bit bigger, i could have gone with a C900, but this filters more water in a shorter timeframe. You want to be sure it will circulate your entire pool in 10 hours. One note, you can go somewhat bigger on a cartridge filter, but dont do it on a sand filter.

It will work but I usually associate 1HP with the 100 sq/ft filter. It sounds like you may have more pump than you need for 10,000 gallons.

This Sand Filter is for an Above Ground Pool Only 18 Ft Diameter or Smaller

that should work really well. my pool (9x18) has a foot print of about 12x20 (that includes the pump/filter).

Absolutely, I am using a Hayward SP1580X15 Power-Flo LX Series 1-1/2-Horsepower Above-Ground Pool Pump with mine.

You can use this with above ground swimming pools, as long as the filter flow rate is less than 4000 gallons per hour. It's quite simple to install with intex pump and filter, but if it's not, you will need a few things from home depot. I would suggest two 2" union fittings (slip), Two 2" female adapters (one sif s is threaded the other smooth), and some 2" elbows will be needed. For more info email me hookdup88@gmail

My pool is 16x32 and I replaced a 1 HP single speed pump. Works fine for me, don't know how it will work with a bigger pool.

My pool is greater than 10,000 gallons smaller than this and it does very well with my pool. We previously had a 1 horse power motor and it did and adequate job. I am sure this filter would work with the 40 thousand, it just would not turn the water over as quickly as a larger horsepower motor.

It's a great pump. I have a 24 ft round pool and it really does the job. It has plenty of power (1 1/2 hp) check your fitting sizes,,,,,I'm sure it will work for you.

My pool is 18,000 gallons and this filter is at least one size larger than I needed...however I feel strongly that a filter system should have excess capacity- and the price difference was minimal so I deliberately purchased an oversize unit. I have been extremely happy with it. It keeps the water crystal-clear and requires almost no maintenance. (Just lubricate the o-rings periodically with a high quality lubricant) Keep a spare filter so you can just swap the extra one in while you clean the filter. My previous Hayward system was smaller - and lasted over 14 years. Hope that helps....

I recommend you call Hayward tech service and ask for their recommendation. (You can find their number by going to their web site. They had recommended the filter in question to be used with my 11/2 hp above ground pool Hayward pool pump)

I have a 7X5X1.5 mts swimming pool and it works perfectly with a 2 horse power pump; it does not filter the very fine dust though as none of the sand filters do, it is much easier to clean and wastes less water than sand filters. You can remove the very fine dust that remains on the bottom of the pool with a slime bag installed on the return line.
