    Thanks
    Other considerations for pump size would be if you also have a spa, water feature or anything else that might need higher flow rates. If not, then I agree with everyone else that you can go with the smallest pump possible.

    I'm hoping that a new pump will help eliminate my cloudy water problems. I've tried many things.

    Thanks everyone.
