I ve been a TFP member for years (Johnny B) but for this situation I am posting under OhEc here. OhEc is a friend and a new pool owner, he inherited/was given his neighbors pool (with a crummy pump & canister paper filter), and then a few weeks later he got another friend's better pump & sand filter and I'm trying to help him. We got the water chemistry under control, proper TF100 test kit etc
Here are the pool specs
7,200 gal (calculated on PoolMath), vinyl; Above Ground, 19.25Ft x 39inches deep water level ( we measured with a tape measure), round; brand: Summer Waves Elite
The original crummy filter& pump would be great to get rid of if you guys OK it.
The better pump & filter specs are:
PUMP
Intex SF60110-1 (Is the model of "both Intex pump & filter sold together" )
capacity: 0.59
name plate HP: 0.54
110-120 V; 60 (?or80?) Hz; 4.8 M
barcode on undersurface (saw two numbers):
2865 1EG 0270
20170123 JPA11
Sand Filter Specs
Qty of sand: 121 lbs
Effective Filtration rate: 1.44SquareFt
Filtration Rate: 30GPMSqaureFeet
Maximum Working Pressure: 30psi
The manual can be found here: http://www.intexsales.com/b2cmnl/B2CMNLServlet?instantiate=B2cMnldownloadApp&action=pub_mnl&filnam=195PO_R0_1804_EN.pdf

All comments welcomed. Will the better pump & filter work etc? Any tips or pointers? Yes we will get the missing piece (pump basket assembly) if you guys ok the idea (Or is it better to just get a whole new pump?
Thank you.
