Depends on the amps/watts of the filter and the size battery you get. I can run full size saws, Vacs, etc. Without any problem

J - I don't have time to calculate the number of gallons in a pool that size... Mine is a 24 ft diamater round pool with 52-inch walls and holds 10 - 12,000 gallons of water. My Hayward 1 1/2 hp powerflow pump does an excellent job of circulating the water and the filter keeps the water clean. I am very content with the setup. My best advice is to buy more than the minimum you will need. My pool will operate on a 1 hp pump, but the extra 1/2 hp really helps. The pump won't have to work as hard, it will be quieter, you will have power when you need it (for vacuuming, etc.), and you will be happier.

I don't think so - I'm using it with a 1900 gallon pool and yours is about 5000 gallons - I run it about 3 hours per day in the summer to generate enough chlorine.

Hi Sandy,My 2500 filter pump has a dial on it that is numbered 1-5. One means one hour, two means two hours etc.The switch only controls the on and off function. I hope this is clear enough. We love our pump and it really is keeping our pool clean and our solar heating pad pumping warm water into the pool. I hope this helps.

Yes, you can run the pool filter pump all day but it's not necessary. I have my pump on a timer and run my pump for 12 hours in the Summer. The Salt Water system must run while the pool filter pump is running or you'll get a "flow" error.

It should work with no problems. We ordered ours back in the spring and used it all summer long with absolutely no problems. This setup has saved countless dollars in filter replacement costs. We are disconnecting from our pool for the winter and storing until next spring to prevent freezing of the internal parts. You will not be disappointed with this one. Best wishes.

This pump has 4 speeds and will do a great job with what you are trying to accomplish. Depending on your pool's capacity and filter type, you will probably be able to run it normally at the second speed and then use the 3rd or 4th speed for when you run your rover. Since you are replacing a 1 HP with a 3 HP VFD, you will see a measurable difference.

Dont know. This filter will only work for a small pool reguardless what they claim. I finally went to a sand filter and the water is very clear and very little work to maintain it.

I believe it comes down to the flow. I believe the flow of this filter is 30 gallons per minute. Double check that value, but it should not be a problem. FYI: I use it on a 50 h.p. 2 stroke and the added insurance of a water seperator allows me to go furthet out than I probably should. Besides, its a Racor!

That would be way too much for that size. It probably will turn into a whirlpool. My pool is 25,000 gallons and it makes the water flow pretty good. Check hayward.com for correct gallons to hp and size ratio

Yes it should. What horsepower is your current pump? I replaced a 1hp pump and my pool is about 30,000 gal.

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.

Yes, a 1hp pump will work, but so would a 1/2 hp. The location of the pump/filter above the pool water level will effect the performance of the pump filter. Check the pricing of different hp pumps, buy the most cost effective.

No, it can not be run automatically everyday for 1 or 2 hours. You must push the button on the power part of the unit to turn it on. You choose the small or large pool button, then it runs for the allotted amount of time and cuts it's self off.

I have it on a 20,000 gallon pool and run it 8 hours a day for several years. I think it would be fine on a 25,000 gallon pol you. Might just want to run it a little longer each day.

No, I own a 13,500 gallon pool the pump works to hard must run it for 14 hours a day to turn the water enough to prevent allege blooms.

I think but am no expert but it would be to small for that big of a pool. The pump would have to run long to cycle that much water. My pool is smaller. It does run my caretaker 99 cleaning system very well though. My pool is only an 8000 gallon play pool. Running a 1.5hp Wisperflow pump.
