I've read on other sites that bigger can be dangerous...but I assume it's ok to turn the pump off when the pool is in use and turn it back on when empty. Is that ok to do? I have a 15' 48" Intex (4400 gallons) with the tiny and very ineffective 1000gph cartridge filter and I'd like to upgrade to something much better for next season. The current pump will be ok since there's only about 6-8 weeks of pool season left here. Probably going sand and salt for next year but I'd like something that will really get the water moving when turned on.

That is the perfect pump. And that filter should work as will ... bigger is always better.
