How big is your filter? I'm certainly no expert, but based on what I think I've learned here, you have way more pump than you need, and probably not enough filter to handle the pump.
Good luck and ENJOY!!!

Morning Pappy,
The sand filter is a 19" with 100lbs of sand. It was sold as a package and I felt confident with what they were selling.
Does this with a 1.5hp pump sound right for a 24' X 52" = 13600 gallons?

Re: Brand New AG Pool Owner
I think I've read that a 1/2 hp Hayward pump, with a 200 lb filter will work on almost any AG pool, no mater how big. I KNOW Ive read that a pump that is too strong for the filter will blow stuff THROUGH the filter sand, and 1-1/2 horses sounds to me like an awful lot for a 100 lb filter. Again I'm no expert.

Read the "Mismatched pumps and filters" section.
