Pump/Filter/Heater combination- NEED RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE

[raemerz]

Hi folks and thank you in advance for any assistance...

My signature provides some basic details about the set up we have.

My question is with respect to the type of pump and filtration system we need. The pool came with a FLOWCLEAR 90401 filter/pump combo. Unfortunately I cannot find the flow rate for this unit.

We have just received our new Nautyl 50000BTU heat pump and I need to understand if the pump/ filter combo we have is sufficient - which I highly doubt! The heater specs ask for a water circulation flow of 83-116L/min.

Also I assume the correct approach is an “inline” one: in from pool to filter/ pump -> heater -> out to pool.

Could anyone suggest a reasonable pump/filter system that won’t break the bank? Are combination units a reasonable option or should I get a separate pump and filter?

Thank you

I would say that pump would not have enough flow rate for sure. As for the a good system I say a 2 speed pump so you have the power savings and a sand filter as I love mine. Do search for what size pump to get for your size pool and go from there. As for the filter I would go a little bigger so you don't have to clean it as often.
