Can this pump be used?

DH cleaned up in the garage today and found this pump. We are wondering 2 things, since we’re not that pump-savvy……

1: Our pool is 5100 gal. Will this pump be way to powerful? Currently we use 1 1/4” hoses and fittings.


If it can be used, then……

2: is it possible to hook it up so it uses our existing sand filter-pump as filter? Or is it too much “Gyro Gearloose” to even want to fiddle with it?

But can we hook it up to the existing sand filter pump?
We were worried that the pump would be too powerful, since it pumps about 4000 gal/hour - our pool is 5000 gal.
