You need to match the pump to the filter. The bane of pools, and especially above-ground pools, is pumps that are too BIG and filters that are too SMALL.
You've got a pool that's only around 11,000 gallons. That means you really only need about 22 GPM. That pump can be turned down to that . . . but only barely. More than that, and you'll probably damage your filter cartridge!
A Hayward SP2607X102S has almost the same flow on low, and is much less likely to blow out your filter on high!
A SP15922S PowerFlo might be even better, but I'm not sure because it's harder to find full specs on AG pool pumps.
If you DO go with the Pentair, make SURE your filter can handle the flow without damage.
As far as saving money . . . nope. The BIGGEST saving comes from having the right pump, running the right amount of time, and not from having a pump that is extremely efficient . . . at being way too big!
