A friend gave us a Tagelus TD-40 filter that was on an inground pool. Is it ok to use this for an above ground pool?

I guess I'm not the only one that doesn't know.

Sherrie;
We've just been slammed. Traffic has been up since Christmas, but over the last 2 weeks, traffic has been DOUBLE what it was this time last year. We're not keeping up, but all we can do is hang on till June 15 when it begins to slack a bit.
You can use an IG filter on an AG pool; Watermom and a number of more experienced PF users do so. IG equipment tends to be a bit more durable and better designed, than AG gear, and the application ratings are closer to being realistic.
What may have caused hesitation in answer your question is that these questions tend to be followed by, "How do I connect it?" and it's hard to answer those sorts of questions over the internet.

Okay we're gonna try it this weekend. My pool looks pretty and blue but it's still not crystal clear. I figured it would be better because it's much bigger. Thanks

The Tagelus TA 40D isn't very big but Hayward's site has been down all day so I can't compare the S144T. I you think it's bigger, maybe worth it. Can you rig them both in parallel?
Above ground / in ground I see no difference except marketing.
