The Intex pump and filter you have are too small for a 27' round pool (approx 16,000 gallons). In fact, they are actually undersized for the Intex pools they are usually sold with. If anyone actually swims in your pool, it will rarely if ever be clear using that filter.

Sorry

Your pool is between 17,000 and 18,500 gallons (depending on whether the WATER depth is 48" or 52"). You're going to need a bigger pump and filter, on the order of 1/2 to 3/4 hp with a filter to match.
