The house we moved into has a 24' above ground pool. I don't know much about pools, but in the reading I have done, it seems like the pump might be overrated for the system that is in place.
The Pool:
24' Diameter
54" Average depth
15,293 gallons (if my calcs are accurate)
The Pump:
Hayward SP1580
1 HP
Head/Flow
10 ft / 86 GPM
20 ft / 86 GPM
30 ft / 75 GPM
40 ft / 58 GPM
50 ft / 27 GPM
The Filter:
Hayward S180T
150lbs sand
Designed flow rate - 35 GPM
The Chlorinator:
Hayward CL200
The Hoses:
1 1/2" flexible hoses
Skimmer to Pump - 6 ft
Pump to Filter - 6 ft
Filter to Chlorinator - 6 ft
Chlorinator to Pool - 3 ft
If someone more knowledgeable than I could let me know if there are some things that I should change to help with overall efficiency, I would greatly appreciate it.
