Can I replace a 1.5 HP pool pump with a 2hp?
Pool owners often mistakenly believe if they choose a 2 HP pump over a 1 HP pump, they are getting double the performance. This is simply not true. In this scenario, you will get only about 15% more flow from the 2 HP model. But the amp draw of the larger pump will be significantly higher, raising your electric bill.
How much power does a 1.5 HP pool pump use?
It’s not uncommon for a 1.5 horsepower pump to use 1500 – 2000 watts. This is unfortunate, because most pools only need 1/4 to 1/8th horsepower for circulation. Higher power may be needed for tasks like vacuuming the pool. Modern pool pumps like the EcoPump offer a circulation mode, and a vacuum mode.

Why is my pool pump not pumping strong?
It could be a clogged pump basket, clogged impeller, clogged pipe or clogged skimmer. It could also be a closed or broken valve before the pump. Or, the pump may have an air leak, and is drawing in more air than water, which will also reduce the filter pressure (and filtration).
Should I replace my pool pump with variable speed?
Upgrading to a VGreen variable speed motor will lower the cost of pool ownership through energy savings of up to 80% without replacing the pump. These motors run cooler, quieter and last longer. Owning a pool with a variable speed motor just became more affordable and is better for the environment.
Do I need a variable speed pump?
VSPs cost less to operate. Variable-speed pumps get their name from the fact that they operate at different speeds, measured in rotations per minute (RPMs). They can be adjusted up to 3,450 RPMs to suit the specific function. VSPs use less energy when their speeds are reduced.
