How many hours per day should I run my pump?
Reply
There are many factors to consider; bather load, gallons of water, pump horsepower, type and size of filter just to name a few. A good guideline is 8-10 hours a day. On the cooler days and early and late season, you can cut the run time down to 4-6 hours because there is usually less swimmers and cooler water requires less chemicals. In peak season, when it is the hottest, raising the run time to 10-12 hours per day will help to keep the pool clean and circulating during it’s time of heaviest use.

Can I run my pump without water?
Reply
Hayward Pool pumps should never operate without water. The pump seal assembly in the pump volute (The area between the strainer basket and the pump motor) protects the pump motor from pool water. This seal assembly gets hot and is cooled by the pool water. If the pump is running without water, the seal will overheat and melt, If left running without water for a long period of time, the heat generated could damage the PVC pipe and other system components.

How much is the power consumption difference each hour between 1.5 HP and 1 HP pool pump by KW.

A typical 1 HP pump has a power consumption of 1.5 Killowatts per hour (KWH) and a 1.5 HP pump is at about 2.3 KWH

I am thinking on buying a new pump. I have very little to no suction at that skimmer. I have blown the line and it is not plugged. I have replaced all fittings and valves and still not very good suction. The drain one at the bottom of pool works great. Without skimmer working I can't clean pool. I was wondering if a bigger pump would help. I currently have a 1hp.

Lloyd what is the distance of pipe from the pump to the skimmer which is have the bad flow? What is the distance of pipe from the pump to the main drain? Do you know the pipe size for the skimmer line? How about pipe size for the main drain line? What happens when you turn your diverter valve so you shut off the main drain and all of the suction is going to the skimmer?

I am getting ready to install a 14x28 foot in ground pool (around 15,000 gallons). The pump is a 1.5 hp with a flow rate of 88 gpm. I need a flow rate of 32 gpm to filter in 8 hrs. The max flow on my 24" filter is 45 gpm. I have 45 feet of head. Based on that a 1 hp pump would supply 50 gpm. Do I really need the 1.5 hp pump? At 42 feet of head it still pumps at 67 GPM. Isn't that to high?
Reply
The 1 HP would work just fine for that size of pool. You definitely need a 1.5 HP though if you start adding features such as, a fountain, a spa, solar heat pump, pool cleaner. Adding any of these features will require more horsepower since the flow rate will be divided up by each addition feature.

how do you remove the pump from the shaft on the motor
Reply
If it is a Super Pump then the ceramic part you will wedge out with a flat head screwdriver and the spring part of the shaft seal is pulled off of the impeller. Make sure the little rubber washer gets taken off of the impeller as well otherwise the new shaft seal will not slide on to the impeller all the way and it will leak.

Based on the model number that you have provided this ia a 1 horse power. That Super pump model is SP2607X10. It is possible that you have a 3/4 hp full rated version which is equivalent to this one horse up rated version. Also here is the 3/4 horse power Super pump SP2605X7 but remember that technically this version is a different model hence having less horse power then the model number that you have provided.

Hi, Gerald. With 50 feet of head using the SP2607X10 pump, your flow rate will be about 50 GPM. This pump will turn over your pool is approximately 9 hours. So it will be sufficient for your pool. The SP2610X15 will also be sufficient with approximately 65 GPM.

Hi John, Given your pool dimensions you have roughly a 25,000 gallon pool and you will want a pump that can completely turn over 25,000 gallons in 8 hours. This would mean a pump that outputs 53 Gallons Per Minute (GPM). The 3/4 HP Super Pump will output about 48 GPM where the 1 HP will output about 62 GPM. So you are right on the border between the 3/4 HP and 1 HP and would be fine with either option. If you found that your 3/4 HP was just a little too weak then I would suggest going up to 1 HP, however, if the 3/4 HP was doing the job fine then I would stay with the 3/4 HP as it costs less to operate.
