Will running a 2hp on low speed achieve same results of a 1 hp motor? Is 150sq' filter large enough for 24' round 54" AGP? Please advise. Need to pay for pool today and install is Wed.
Purchasing pump and filter together in package. I will upgrade and or change later as I become more familiar w pool. Just need to get started choices is package are limited.
The low speed would be much less than 1 hp probably more in the range of .25 horse power. The 150 sq ft cartridge filter would be plenty large enough for that size pool.
Low speed is 1/8 the HP of high speed, so 1/4 HP in this case. That is plenty for this pool, and you still have high speed for times when you might need it, things like vacuuming or cleaning up algae.
