I'm thinking of buying a 12ft steel frame pool. Just gathering information at the moment, to try and put a budget together. I've been looking at the Doughboy Regent Round Steel 12ft Pool.
On the site I'm looking at, the standard kit includes, 'Deluxe Sand Filtration Unit with sand and Power Pump'. I contacted the retailers for more information and got this, 'I believe it would be a 1/3hp pump with a 14" diameter sand filter.', and when I pressed further, 'The manufacturer have confirmed at this time it is a 16" filter with 0.5hp pump.'.
I don't know what this means, but it seems like a lot less information that when I was looking at Intex products last summer - I don't want intex, but there was a lot more information to compare and study.
What questions should I be asking?
Does anyone have any experience of these pumps / filters?
Any other recommendations for equipment to use with this pool?
Thanks in advance
