I have an 18x36 inground pool, 8 feet deep, 3 feet shallow, pool math tells me it’s 100,000 litres (26,417 Gallons).
I have 1 x Skimmer, 3 x returns in pool and another 2 x returns in stairs managed by a separate valve.
I have a heater, SWG, and a 300 pound sand filter.
My current Hayward pump is 1HP 2-speed, it’s just not powerful enough in this configuration, suction for Vacuum or return jets are weak without constant backwashing.
VSP is just not in the budget, but I have a local guy that sells refurbished pumps and has 1.5HP 2-speed for sale that is affordable.
With my configuration, is it worth going 1.5HP 2-speed from my current 1HP 1-speed? Or am I better off waiting for a 2HP 2-speed to come up for sale?
Thanks
