Replacement pump

While I'm trying to address algae issues, I want to upgrade my pump. I've got an Intex 12x24 AG pool, with the .3 HP, 14" sand filter with SCG, I believe it's 1500GPH. I'm reading that this pump is severely under powered for what it's trying to do. I've been looking around, and I want something that will turn the water over fairly fast, and allow me to hook up the vacuum with confidence it won't take me all day to vacuum the pool.

I've been looking at a larger version of it

Amazon.com : Intex 2650 GPH Sand Filter Pump Garden

Also looking at this:

With the Hayward, I lose the SCG, which is a downside, unless I can somehow incorporate the existing system.

I'm just at the point where I want to get this fixed, and enjoy the pool.

What you read is irrelevant. What you experience, is most important. Is not doing something properly?

Why? Slow is much more efficient.
