Hey all. I've finally ordered the pool (24' - 54" Sharkline Matrix) and I'm trying to piece together a filter system. I've read all the threads on multi-speed, two-speed, and lower HP pumps being preferred. However, I can hardly pass up a deal when I see it.
150lb. Pentair sand filter (1.8 sq.ft. filter area) with Dynamo 1.5 HP pump - ~$300.00 shipped. Now, by my reading I know that the pump is really too much for the pool size, but I think I can utilize the extra HP for cleaning purposes. If need be I can run the filter less often. I'd rather buy a smaller pump and run it more often but I'm having a hard time passing this deal up.
Opinions?
