So my pump stopped working and I'm looking at buying a new one. We don't want to spend the big bucks for the super fancy ones at this time. I went into the local pool shop and they are suggesting a .5hp pump. My current pump is 1.5hp and the pool is roughly 20,000 gallons. I'm concerned that .5 hp won't be enough and will have to work harder to keep the pool circulated. Am I off on this or is the guy at the pool shop correct in saying .5 will be fine? There are no water features or anything.
Thanks!
Thanks!
