Hi Everyone!

We have finally finished leveling out the spot in our yard for our intex 26'x52 above ground pool!:D
I have researched and researched and also read MANY posts here about upgrading the existing pump and now my head is spinning. :confused: we know that we want to upgrade the existing pump when we install the pool this weekend or next week (hoping the rain holds off:| ) but I am absolutely LOST on what pump to purchase! We have decided we are going to hold off on doing a salt water system. So with that being said what pump do you recommend us using??? I really enjoy reading all the helpful posts here! Thanks to all those who may possibly help me wrap my head around this! I'm sure I am overthinking it but we want to make the right investment in the pump from the start! :D
 
If not, get a 2 speed pump with the largest filter of your choice.
 
A 3/4hp or 1hp 2 speed pump from Hayward or Pentair would work great. But, there are lots of posts here from people who are very happy with the Intex sand filters.
 
For a pool your size, if you are not going with Intex, look for something around a 23" diameter sand filter. The 1HP 2-speed Power-Flo Matrix is popular. This is a much more expensive option that sticking with the Intex brand, but it is big jump in quality too.
