Hi,
I just bought my house last summer and it has an in-ground pool that is about 11000gal. The pump is a 1hp Centurion, and the filter is a Posi-Flo, the kind in a chrome tube about 4 feet high. The pump has lost its punch as of late, and it isn’t really pumping much water through the filter. The salesperson at Leslies laughed at my setup, so I feel its time to upgrade.However, I am very new to the whole pool pump/filter thing. I understand the differences between DE, sand, and cartridge filters. I’d like to stick with a cartridge filter as that seems to be basic to me. And I don’t really trust sales people because all they tell me is propaganda about new stuff that is out of my price range. So, can the experts here attempt to educate a rookie about pumps? Not necessarily specific brands, but basic differences between 2 speed motors, switchless motors, booster pumps, filter sizes and things like that. What would be a reasonable setup to upgrade to?
Please help.
I didn’t find the right solution from the Internet.
