Looking to replace my old defunct pump with a newer one. However, I cannot tell from the label how many horsepowers this pump is. My pool has a volume of 14,000 gallons with two water fountains. Any suggestions?
How many HP is this pump?

Welcome to TFP.
It is 1H or 1.5HP. It does matter which. You need to get a variable speed pump of at least 1.5HP. Although a larger HP pump will be quieter and more energy efficient.

It was made in October 1999.
It does not show the horsepower, but it comes out to about 1.65 HP.
Do you have automation?

Thanks for the information. I think I will get a variable speed pump - close to 2HP.
As for automation, I have a PLC controlling ON/OFF on a schedule - that's about it. I do hope to be able to control the speed on my new pump using external relay controls. It appears Hayward and Pentair both have such capability.
