I need a new pump/filter for my pool.

25000 gallon vinyl liner in-ground in the So. Cal. Desert. Current pump is a worn out 1.5 HP with a worn out 48 sq ft DE filter.

THe electric company gives a $250 rebate for a two speed pump ($30 for a single speed). So, two speed is the way to go.

Line to to/from pump are 1.5 inch.

I propose a 1.5HP uprated two speed pump and a 48 sq ft DE as replacements.

What say the experts?
