Got it. Thanks everyone so much!
I've actually been surfing around the site in anticipation of getting a permanent above ground at some point. What a great resource you all are. I'll be sure to do a lot of homework before buying and won't be taken for a ride (again - I never knew the pool stores will commonly try to sell you a bigger filter system than you need).
It's hot and humid here in RI today and the kids can finally get back in the pool!
Take care and thanks again - hopefully I can take it from here!

Conventional AG pool sales typically include a bigger pump than you need -- not a bigger filter. Normally, the pump is too big, and the filter is too small.
Soft-side (Intex, etc) pool systems (pump + filter combo) are better matched . . . they are BOTH too small. That's why it's so hard to clean up a soft-side pool once it is cloudy.
