Last night my intex filter motor called it quits and left me without anything. It was a 1/2 horse, 1600 gph pump and the bs of it is, it was only 2 years old. Anyway.... A buddy of mine let me borrow his Hayward 1.5 horse pump to use for the time being and while it blows my old pump away, I'm kindof concerned that my filter can't handle it. My psi gauge with the old pump averaged around 6-7 psi, and now with this pump its up around 11-15 psi. On the gauge, 20 psi is when it enters the red, right now it's in the yellow. Anybody's help would be very appreciated, I already have to buy a new motor, I really don't want to buy a filter also.
