Should I replace my pump?

Last fall we bought a new house that has a pool. It's vinyl-lined 18x40 25,611 gallons. It came with an older (not sure age) single speed Pentair SF-N1-1A-340008 pump, a Nature2 Pro G system, and a sand filter.

This spring, I plan to remove the Nature2 system and to add a salt system. Would it also make sense to replace/upgrade the pump at this time? Anything else I should consider doing?

Welcome to TFP!

Sure does. That old single speed pump is an energy hog. You'll see many more benefits to replacing it. Variable Speed Pumps are the rage now with a much larger selection of makes/models to chose from to fit many budgets.

Anything else I should consider doing?

You might post a pic or two of your equipment pad so we can see. It might result in more ideas.

I'm also considering adding a heater (posted another thread in that category). Note: the storage cabinet to the right of the sand filter can be moved if I need more space for the equipment.
