Sand Filter & Pump Motor

[duraleigh]

Hi, Jack,

Short answer...No. A full-rated 2hp pump on a typical pool will push a lot of water. Without seeing the pump curve and asking about your set-up, I can't tell you exactly how much.

However, I am pretty sure it is higher than the 100gpm your TR-100 is rated. The pump should always be producing less GPM than the filter's capacity....I'm sure yours is producing more.

The filter is nicely sized for your pool, but a full rated 1hp would be a better match.
