What is the maximum size pool this pump can manage? I have an 80,000 litre pool

That is about 21,100 gallons and yes this pump can handle that under the right conditions. This is a medium head pump so if the equipment is far from the pool or you have other conditions that create a lot of resistance (head) then this pump may not handle it as well as you like. Many variables come into play when choosing a pump but in general if you can get the pump to 40-50 gpm (2400 to 3000 gph) it would turn over the pool once in 7-9 hours. Usually I program these pumps to run on high (2800-3000 rpm) for 2-4 hours to clean the pool and then medium or low for 12-14 hours depending on the pool size and how much water the pump can make based on the specifics of the pool.

If you go look up the spec's, (I was looking on Grainger.com) the almost exact same pump(& same motor) is spec'd to pump 19 gpm @60 ft of head. This would likely due 15-19 gpm at 60 ft of head. Its max ft of head is 106 and a max suction lift of 26 ft (as stated on the product description). I wouldn't push these limits though. These type pumps should run between 1-2 hours under load before fully draining the fuel tank.

Honestly I'm not sure, but pretty strong. I clean pool for a living...I can drain a pool of 20000k gallon for 12 hrs. Draining pool and acid washing. And I must say that this is the best pump I had so far. It never broke comparing to little giant brands which always leaks at the gasket. Well worth the money

Hi Gene, I'm not sure I follow the question. But in my particular case in emptying out a ~20k pool, I merely dropped the pump in the deep end and waited about a day. Amazon states the product dimensions but if your specifically looking for the diameter of the bottom "sucking" section of the pump, I can provide this later.

15 Amps at 110 Volts AC is 1,650 Watts. That would be the absolute most it could handle. If your pool pump is over 1500 Watts you may be better off with a larger timer (in case of voltage spikes and sags). If your pool pump is less than 1000 Watts it should run for years (mine has).

My pool holds over 12,000 gallons of water and this equipment handles it wonderfully. If this does not help you, I would suggest you call your local pool store and ask what size equipment you would need for your pool measurements. That is what I did before I purchased my equipment. I hope this helps.

I wish I could answer your question, but I am using my unit on a 1 3/4 hp pump for a 10,000 gallon in ground pool. The only issue I have is that the hose gets heavy wit the water and the cleaner does not make it all the way around my pool.

I recall it was rated for up to 18k gal. I'm using it with an 11k gal pool and it works like a champ.

18 X 48 pools normally come with a 1500 GPH pump. For the small difference in price, I would upgrade to the 2500 GPH model. I went through several pumps that were the size that came with my pool. I went to the next size up, & besides doing a better job of filtering, I haven't had any failures of the pump motor. I would also recommend the intex filters over those from Walmart. There's quite a difference in the amount of paper folds & they will do a better job on the small silt, etc. Be sure to get the right size. (Available from Amazon of course) Ron

is that the discharge of a 800 gpm. pump ??? or is that of a larger pump ???

I am currently running a 1/2 horsepower pump at the time. the pump was intended for a spa tub but it works well for my 22 foot above ground Intex pool.

I have an 18ft round pool and upgraded the pump to the intex 1600 Gph and filter and salt system and it keeps my pool crystal clear. I was going to buy the bigger pump and I am glad I decided on this one.

I just went out to measure it for you, it is 24 feet and 10 inches long (technically 25') which is pretty good for a pool pump. I'm not sure how some people got 10 to 18 feet, maybe some people got the short end of the stick, I'm sure I measured it right. I am also updating my review after I had a minor problem with a DOA nozzle. I would definitely recommend this pump, I've tried several pumps and this USA made pump seems to be the best, a well constructed piece of equipment. You can check my other review.

I am not sure. What I did was to look at the size of the pool that I had and bought a pump that was sized a little bit bigger. Sorry, wish I could help you more.

May be a bit of an over kill for your size but the best thing I did for the 10,000 gallon pool I have. Hope this helps.

Our pool wasn't that big. You might ck manufacturing suggested size pump. I can tell u that Hayward pumps r quiet & powerful. Ours works very well with our 15X22 pool. I recommend a salt water chlorinated system as well.
