Does everything needed to install the filter and pump come with this? For example, pipe fittins, pump-to-filter fittings & plumbing, etc.

None of the plumbing comes with this system. The system would include the pump, filter and multiport valve on Sand and DE filters (cartridge filters do not require a multiport valve). Any additional plumbing or fittings would be purchased locally at a hardware store.

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.

Hi, can this pump be used with a salt water chlorinator [generator] made in South Africa by Justchlor which requires a salt level of 6000ppm by weight, yes I know most USA systems call for 3500ppm. After 27 months my pump motor bearing is whining badly and I presume the shaft seal has gone, I see Hayward has a kit with a salt shaft seal, do you stock this pump "salt ready" if this is what I need?

The SP2610X15 is a 1.5HP 230/115v single speed pump that can be used with salt water pools. The main issue with a higher salt ppm level is that the salt will corrode the rubber seals and any metals that it comes in contact with at a quicker rate. Unfortunately the pump does not come "salt ready". You would have to purchase a salt water tune up kit separately. I recommend changing the shaft seal every season with a salt water pool to prevent shaft seal failure.

Is this pump and filter capacity adequate in capacity for 19000 gallon in ground pool ? Thank you. Will Deits

Hi Will, This package will be suitable for a 19,000 gallon in-ground pool. I would still recommend making sure that this pump will be able to provide the adequate water flow based on you pool feet of head. You can review our How To: Size a Pool Pump guide for more info.

I have a EC75 that came with a 1.0 HP pump can I replace the pump and motor with a 1.5 HP motor. or will the flow rate be to great for the EC75 and have too much pressure.

The Perflex DE Filter 40 Sq. Ft. - EC75A provides a flow rating of 100GPM. If you decide to upgrade the horsepower, check the pump curve for the gallons per minute output rating. Click here to view the Hayward Super Pump product line.
