Also know, is a higher HP pool pump better?
Pool owners often mistakenly believe if they choose a 2 HP pump over a 1 HP pump, they are getting double the performance. This is simply not true. In this scenario, you will get only about 15% more flow from the 2 HP model. But the amp draw of the larger pump will be significantly higher, raising your electric bill.
For pools up to 24 Ft Round, use a 1 HP pool pump. For pools over 24 Ft Round, we recommend using a 1.5 HP pool pump.
Keeping this in view, can I replace a 3/4 HP pool pump with a 1 HP pool pump?
Yes. You can, but what’s more important to answer is do your really NEED to change your pump to one with a higher horsepower rating? If you have complete information on you pool and you’ve determined that your current pool pump is not enough for your needs, by all means, go ahead and change your pool pump.
What is the flow rate of a 3/4 HP pool pump?

What is the normal pressure of a Hayward pool pump?
Generally speaking, a pressure reading between 10 – 25 psi can be considered normal. Once you have installed a new filter, turn everything on and take a baseline reading. Each time that you change your pool filter take a new baseline reading.
Can my pool pump be too powerful?
The more powerful your pool pump is—the more horsepower it has—the faster it will turn the water over, which means you can run it less often and for shorter periods of time. But this is also dependent upon the size of your filter and the filtration system’s pipes. A too-powerful pump can be too much for a small filter.
Which is better Pentair vs Hayward?
When it comes down to it, both pumps have their own strengths and weaknesses. The Hayward EcoStar has better energy efficiency and the Pentair IntelliFlo has a reputation for longevity with a proven track record. It’s a close battle between the two pumps and it really comes down to personal preference.
How much HP pump do I need?
Horsepower theoretically required for pumping water equals the gallons per minute multiplied by the head in feet, and divided by 4.000 For power recommended, divide by 2000 instead of 4000.
How much water can a 3 HP pump move?
Number of submersible well pump stages determine pump lift capacity
| Table of Submersible Pump Stages vs HP vs Total Dynamic Head vs. GPM Flow Rate Capacity | ||
|---|---|---|
| Water Pump HP | Nr. of Pump Stages | GPM Flow Rate Capacity |
| 2 HP | 14 | 4 – 42 GPM (varies by TDH) |
| 3 HP | 19 | 4 – 43 GPM (varies by TDH) |
| 5 HP | 28 | 4 – 43 GPM (varies by TDH) |
Can a pool pump be too big?
You might think bigger is better in terms of pump size, but a pump that is too big can cause serious problems. In the example above, the pool’s average depth is 8 feet. Now use the formulas below to determine the volume of water in your pool.
