I have an old Jandy Stealth 2hp In-Ground pump that I was hoping to use as a vac to waste pump for opening my 18K IG Plaster pool this spring. (will also be used to open a neighbors pool)

I prefer the vac to waste process when opening since the bottom is mostly worms and it really smells bad. Dont need this stuff going thru the filter.

I have been using a 1.5hp above ground pump and have problems with priming and keeping suction so I thought I would try the 2hp in-ground pump. I need to get some fittings to reduce the inlet/outlets to accept my vacuum hose and discharge hose

My questions are... Will this set up work ? Is 2hp too strong ?


Thanks for the feedback
