I have tried to find answers to this but failed, so forgive me if I missed it.
I know my pump is on the older side but couldn't give an age as such. I have read that 1hp should be plenty for a 24ft round agp. My pump does not seem to rotate/circulate the water around the pool wall much - should you see visible rotation? I have a thermometer hanging 2/3rds down into the pool just beside the return and it doesn't get 'blown sideways' much.
How visible should the effects of the return be, and do older pumps get weaker?
If I get a new pump, should I get 1hp? 1.5? And if cost is an issue should single speed be ok?
Thank you all.
