I have a question about my setup, and I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. I might even be looking too far into this lol. I have a 28ft above ground pool with two skimmers, with a Hayward super II, 1.5HP two speed pump. ( SP3010X152AZ ) ( https://www.hayward-pool.com/shop/en/commercial/res-pumps/super-ii-i-phsup2--1 ). I would like to put the pump / filter 35' away from my pool, and run it most of the time on low. The 35' number does not even take into account the piping around the pool to the skimmers/returns.

The part I'm needing help on is on full speed it say it should do 89GPM at 40', but on low speed it does not even give me the numbers for 40', it only shows numbers for a max of 20' and that is 13GPM. Now I can put the pump/filter next to the pool if I need to, but I would like to put it on the side of the house if it will work correctly. Am I even looking at this correctly, does this even matter?




Thanks for your help.




 
The 40 and 20 you are referencing is TDH, Total Dynamic Head. Not feet of pipe.

I see no issues moving the pump. Use at least 2.5" return and suction lines.
