Suggestiosn for new pump/vacuum.

[HulaGal]

Hi all. I'm new to the forum, and new to being an above ground pool owner. Back in June, we purchased a Coleman Power Steel 26' x 52" above ground pool. The pump that came with the pool, seems extremely insufficient for the size of the pool and don't get me started on the vacuum that came with it.... The pool holds 15,000 gallons of water and I am looking for recommendations for a new pump, skimmer and a new vacuum for this pool. I have battled keeping this pool algae free (currently turning green) all summer. I'm grateful for any recommendations or suggestions.

Thanks,
HG

Welcome to TFP!!!

First, algae is a chemistry problem, not a pump or filter or vacuum problem.
How are you testing your water?
How are you chlorinating?

One pump that seems to be widely likes is the Powerflo Matrix 1HP and recommend the 2-speed version.
What filter do you have? You did not say anything about it.
I will let other recommend vacs for AG pools.
