Generator for pool pump

I own a PureLine Prime 2.7 HP Variable Speed Pool Pump - PL2606. I am planning to keep my pool open through the winter. I was wondering what size generator (output) I would need to power this pump should I lose electricity. Thanks!

Running on the highest speed, the max wattage would be 2,415. So you’d want a generator that is at least 2,500 watts.
