I had a smaller size than this one connected to a 1 horse power pump and it worked fine but now it runs on a 3/4 horse power pump because I did not like paying extra for the power consumption

I've used it for the furnace in my house. You'll have to remove the old filter and check the size to be sure.

If you use the right thread adaptor. Not a direct fit. Filter has pipe thread, not straight machine thread.

There is no problem in using a filter bigger than what you need. Every model has a limit, as long the model is for a bigger tank than you have is OK.

If you plan on running an pool vacuum from your filter you may want more power, that's the mistake I made. If you are not going to be doing that, then this pump should work. It's a good filter, but you're on the border line of whether it's to small. If you do get it you'll have to run it all the time compared to a more powerful filter. Sorry I couldn't help more. Hope all goes well

Should work fine. I installed on a 2hp single cylinder pump with pressure unloader and 60 gallon tank. Took some plumbing and pressure limit adjustments. Been in use for a year.

I believe that there is a 2 HP pump that will work for you just fine, but a single speed will never compare to a variable speed pump. A lower hp will only put more work on the pump since you would probably have to run it longer to have proper filtration of a pool that size. I certainly would NOT go with a lower HP but I would go to variable. Additionally, even if the other Pentair pump at a lower HP had 2" fittings you can come out of the pump with 2" and reduce to 1.5 as I had to do in order to tie into my existing system.

Yes, a 1hp pump will work, but so would a 1/2 hp. The location of the pump/filter above the pool water level will effect the performance of the pump filter. Check the pricing of different hp pumps, buy the most cost effective.

Pretty small for that. You would need a 3/4 HP pump with at least a 75 sq ft filter to be happy.

I used a two stage (hi & low) 1-1/2hp pump on my 24' pool. We ran that on low most of the time. I wouldn't hesitate to use this pump on a 24' pool. This is a good strong pump and filter.

Well I have a 1 1/2 hp hayward pump and this filter handles it fine, very sturdy. I would think that an extra 1/2 hp would be fine for this model. Best of luck!Andy

Yes that would be enough filter for your tank size. xp3 would be enough. I have had these filter for about 10 years now. Work well.

If your pump is that powerful you may want to get a larger filter. It will work but probably not as well as you need it to. Filter size is typically determined by the size of the pool (In gallons). If your pool is 15,000 gallons or smaller you can use the C751. Since you have a 2hp pump I'm guessing the pool is larger.

Input is 1 1/4" & Output 1". It is a very fast pump, Consider if you really need a 1HP pump.

Yes a 1 hp pump is fine. The filter comes with a flow restrictor disc so if your pump exceeds the recommended gpm the disc compensates for that. It's explained in the owners manual.

I have an 18' above ground hard side pool and I only run the filtering system about 4-6 hrs a day, it has a 1hp pump and the system works fantastic

It would probably work but it's a big filter. You probably need something much smaller it looks are important
