Re: Any advantages?
If Intex rated this one in the same manner, it should do the job, but I doubt there would be any reserve capacity. Offhand I would derate anything like this by about 1/2, giving me an actual rate close to 1000gph with all plumbing/filtering accounted for.
Yes I would want to elevate the panels, but not more than about 8ft off the ground.
15' round 4.8K gal Intex AG pool; Intex 633 pump with twin canisters (2500 gph main filtering); Unicel 5315 filter cartridges; Intex 637 pump w/o filter (1000 gph heater circulation); 4hrs; K-2006; utility water; PF:24
Re: Any advantages?
The Intex pumps are very low head pumps so I doubt even that one would be able to lift the water 8' at a decent flow rate.
