Hey All,

Pump is a PE71-II-V (1.5HP SPL) 3450 RPM, I believe this http://www.speck-pumps.com/other/htm...ducts/E71.html is the pump, if you click the link on the right for "performance data" you can see the curves.

Filter is a Clear Water "High Rate Sand Filter" by Waterway. 22" round. MAX GPM is listed as 55, MAX Working Pressure is 35 PSI.

Clean filter pressure is about 10-12PSI, 1.5" flexy hose throughout. The few posts I found online says the Total Head in Feet for those specs should be around 45, and that lines up at 55 GPM. But those charts are based off of 3500 RPM, I doubt 50 RPM more makes a huge difference in GPM.

The reason I ask is I was thinking about picking up a "Slime Bag" to collect some algae that's on the bottom of my pool. I vacuumed a lot of it out to waste this weekend, but had to stop every 10 minutes to put water in the pool which took an hour or more to replenish. So I would like to try the 18"x30" X-tra Polishing Pool Vacuum Bag shown here http://www.cleanerpools.net/slimebag.php , and the specs show the max GPM it can handle is 60 GPM so I want to be sure it will "work" for me.

Looks like I will probably be fine but wanted to double check before spending over 50 bucks on this and finding out it wont work.

Thanks!
