I currently have a 1hp pool pump and a 3/4hp booster pump to run the "rover" automatic pool cleaner. I ordered this pentair VS pump, and now I think I might be able to remove the booster pump and set a schedule to run new VS pump at higher rpm to clean...

I'd say that is quite possible. You will most likley need an electrical upgrade to handle the 3 HP pump. Hope you planned that. MJ

I installed a few of these pumps. I wouldn't recommend. I went back to Zoeller 1/2HP sewage pumps. Good luck.

Sorry, my emails got buried... It should be more than enough to keep that pool pretty. Try taking a piece of 1.5" and 2" pool hose to the ports. I think this pump will work with both sizes. If they fit or, can be adapted, you should be good. Make sure there will always be continuous flow to the pump though. All the pump is going to do is draw water, filter it and push it back into the pool. I'll look around and post if I find anything.

I don't use this anymore exceptwhen I have a handyman around. Now I use the auto vacuum cleaner like the Hayward TigerShark. Drop it in the pool and let it work. I brought it from the internet.

I would recommend at least the 2500 gallon pump. I believe a pool your size probably holds 4 to 5 thousand gallons, and you would have to run a 1500 gph for a much longer period to get full cleaning.

My variable speed has saved me money by only using speed that is needed. A lower HP motor is set at factory setting and you cannot make changes for peak useage. I'm very happy with my pump because one nite we had a drop in temp and when I went outside the pump was running in what it called freeze mode to protect itself from freezing. Most pool shops may not be up to date on this type of pump...... It will cost more....but I think you will save the money in the long run.

The model that you listed appears to be just a motor #, not a motor and pump assy. The Hayward motor/pump assy that you're inquiring about is a generic unit made to service most above ground pools that use 1 1/2" plumbing and have 115v electrical service available at the site. --Lee

Im wondering if this worked for you? I have the same pool which is about 10,000 gallons- higher than the 7,000 it states. I read that you just need to look at how much the pump cycles per hour- was this one big enough for you? How's it working?

I have a Hatward 1 1/2 HP THAT WORKS PERFECT. This is a great product that really helps to keep the pool clean.

Hello Joyce P.Thanks for your interest in our product. Two heaters can be connected with a by-pass kit for increased efficiency on larger pools, the kit is not required for pumps ranging in 1.0 hp

I'm sure you can delete the booster. I run my pump at 2100 RPM. It runs my pool sweep very well. I have "The Pool Cleaner," which I highly recommend as a pool sweep. If I crank the RPMs higher, the sweep will climb up the walls and out of the water. These pumps are great and I was quite a skeptic before I got mine. However, you should make sure that your pipe diameter is at least 2 inch and that your filter isn't impeding flow. Both of these might be true given the size of your prior pumps.

Some of the reviewers state that they connected the cleaner directly to the output valve from their existing pump, no booster used. What is the risk of doing so?Having to buy the booster pump as well puts this cleaner in the same cost category as the robotic cleaners, which seem to do a better job, no?

I already have a booster pump for the jacuzzi and right now my pool guy is connecting the cleaner to a pipe connected to the filter pump (variable speed). So I have a valve that controls the flow of water to the cleaner and to the swimming water filtering circuit. I already have 4 pumps (filter, waterfall, slide, and booster) and I no longer have the space to add another pump. I think I am going to take your recommendation for which I thank you and purchase the 360. Any comments from you on this approach will be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Yes but, Make you get 1.5 Hp Matrix filter. I have the 1hp matrix filter. I only have a 18 foot round pool.

Ragz, Let me start with the fact I have a 25000 gallon pool also and I use a Polaris 360 sweep on pressure side with out booster pump. I have set the Max speed to 2200 rpm. At 0730 in the morning the pump comes on at 1750 rpm and a auto valve opens to operate the sweep. It runs at this rate for 2 hours. At that time ,0930, the auto valve closes and the pump is then programed to run at 1250 rpm till 6:00 that evening, and then shuts off for the night. The only other change is for my solar heating which is handled by a auto solar control panel .if the pool water temp is lower then then solar heat set the pump will kick back up to 1600 rpm to circulate water through the solar panels. If the outside temp is hotter then the water temp it will extend the pump run time till air temp falls below pool temp. If you don't have the solar option by earlier suggestion works great for me. As a disclosure Im in northern California with out extreme low temps and hot summers

I am not sure. What I did was to look at the size of the pool that I had and bought a pump that was sized a little bit bigger. Sorry, wish I could help you more.

There is many factors to consider for your particular AG pool (type of filter,head ft., intake pvc elbows etc) but Pentair Pool Products is the best pool pumps in the market today, My suggestion is get a Whisperflo WFE 1/2 Hp and a Intermatic Mechanical Timer and set it to run 3hrs every other day in winter and 2hrs every day in summer if you live in the northern states and if you live in southern California set it to 2hrs every day in winter and 3hrs every day in summer time, I have a 14500 AG pool with a Intelliflo Variable Speed set it to 3hrs at 1500rpm every other day and in summer to 6hrs at 2000rpm-25gpm with a Intex Krystal Clear Salt System and with no problems with algae and chloramine odors, the water is just Krystal Clear and we use the pool every day in summer with a high of 108-112 during the day and 80-85 at night, we live in the SD County Desert area. hope this info will help you in the new pump but get the Intelliflo pump and you would get a rebate from your electric company if they participate on the rebate program and you would be happy with the energy savings and a very quiet pump.......
