I think I'm stuck. Setting up a new 18X33 AGP and looking at pumps/filters/ I see the Hayward 1 HP Powerflow Matrix pump (1592) and the 1.5 HP (1593). And then I see the Filters of the EC40 and EC50.
I was thinking for my 15,000 gallons, I would want to stick with a 1 hp pump, possibly the 2 speed and then go with a EC50 filter? Does that sound correct?
It seems that online, there's a tendancy to combine the 1 HP pump with the EC40 filter and then the 1.5 hp pump with the EC50 filter and sell them as a "system".
I just don't want to fall into the trap of buying "too big" of a pump at 1.5 hp if I don't need it AND too small of a filter..
How much of a benefit is a '2-speed' pump? I have the pump wired up to a timer where it will go on and off automatically at set times.
Thanks for any input!
