Is it too late to get a smaller pump? Many AG pool packages have "upgraded" pumps and people think it sounds like it would be better to have the bigger pump but in reality, a bigger pool pump is not usually better. If it is not too late, I'd switch it to a smaller one if I was you. I would think that a 1/2hp or no bigger than 3/4hp is enough for this pool. Like Jan said, one of the equipment gurus will hopefully chime in here with a more specific suggestion

Thanks for the feedback.

I like the pump having two speeds basicly for the cost savings in electric and the pump is almost silent on low. It will be run on low speed all the time except at cleaning. I contacted them yesterday and they can't change to a sand filter because I would have to loose the two speed pump because the cartridge filter and pump are sold as a package and can't be seperated. I guess i can live with the cartridge filter.

AYLAD; I would like to go the route of a SWCG but a lot of cost difference between a cheap Intex and everything else. It also sounds like the current Intex SWCG is a step down from the prior model. I'll probably take a wait and see on that one. I just know I don't want the AQUA SMARTE.
