I have a 24' pool with a 1 hp Dymo (Pentair) pump and a Star 50 (Pentair again) DE filter. Both have worked well for me although I had to buy a new pump last year as the pump had siezed up. It was outside for 4 years and this winter I moved it into the garage to keep it better (hopefully).
I run it about 7 hours a day and it does a good job. It has been mentioned about using a 2 speed pump and leaving it on all summer on low speed - this should be less costly.
I would recommend it but I would say if you filter is good just replace the pump. You probably can get a 1 HP pump and be fine. You didn't say how long per day you ran it but try to run it only 8 or 9 hours a day.
