Upgrading pump

[Cobb2208]

I have a metal frame 10 ft round (30 inchs deep) summer escape pool. The pump just died and instead of spending money to replace the crappy pump, I would like to upgrade to a better one. However, the pool has a build in skimmer/filter/pump. Can I get a new, better, pump/filter combo and attach the hose that draws water into the pool to the existing skimmer "out" hose? Would this work? Has anyone else upgraded their pump with one of these pools? I searched but couldn't find anything other than how to add a built in skimmer.

Any suggestions for a decent replacement pump? The one it came with was only a 330 gph, I was looking at a couple that were at least double that.

Inyopools has several filter/pump combos to choose from.

From what I saw on there, that's way more than what I'm looking for, and still doesn't help with my confusion on if/how I can hook up a separate filter pump combo to the exsisiting broken pump/filter/skimmer combo

A little more research and I think maybe this is what I would need?

Remove current pump, attach this, then attach new pump?

Sorry, I don't know much about above ground pool equipment. Might try poking around over in the AG pool section.

Yes a friend of mine did this a few years ago after the filter/pump/skimmer unit died.
Your new pump should come with two hoses, just run one from the bottom of your skimmer/pump to the inlet of your new pump and the outlet gets plumbed to the return jet you have now.
If you need to adapt once you have pump and hoses, check your local Home Depot or the like, bring a hose with you, and you should be able to make any adapters you need out of plumbing or irrigation(barbed) fittings.
