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.
