I'm pretty sure you would spend more on gas to run the generator than you will on electricity. That's just my guess.

If you plan on running an pool vacuum from your filter you may want more power, that's the mistake I made. If you are not going to be doing that, then this pump should work. It's a good filter, but you're on the border line of whether it's to small. If you do get it you'll have to run it all the time compared to a more powerful filter. Sorry I couldn't help more. Hope all goes well

I use it on an inground pool and it works great. Do not know of it will work well with an above ground pool.

Yes I used mine with our above ground pool. My husband installed a union and put it in line from the filter to the water output.

I 've got a 6500 wt. generator and this works fine. That's what is recomended for your generator.

You could, but I wouldn't. I got mine for the pump for an above ground swimming pool. You appear to be planning to use this for a permanent (in house) appliance. I would get an electrician to install a new outlet.

It is really not recommended for use like that, but the worst that could happen is the breaker on your generator would trip from overload. Give it a try?????

Not noticeably for us as we only let it run as a back-up. I like to get my generator running rather than keep using the water. If it ran for a long time, it could impact, just depends if it is constantly running or not.

Just got it installed at end of season so I am not sure how good or fast it will work. We had it converted to natural gas and did not change any other parts on pool or filter system. Only hassle we had was running the natural gas line to heater.

I used it as intended, for above ground pool. This is a 115 v motor and draws 12-15 amps . The motor is working near max power on normal installation. The added "head " or load would be too much for any extended period. I would look for 2 HP 230v system.

Not sure. It runs off of 110 household voltage, so I assume that a standard generator would work.

I have no idea how it would do with a generator, but I can tell you I bought the thing either last year, or year before, and I'm happily running it right now. Like the thing a lot, but I think it needs a standard outlet.

I'm going to guess this generator has electric start if so pull the fuel line from carburetor and turn the engine over. You should see the fuel pump pumping fuel if not you need a pump. This pump will work

They make kit to hook the generator into your power system for your house. If you are not experienced, then have an electrician do it. You could cause a lot of damage if you tried it yourself.

Hello, yes a generator may be used for this inflatable as long as it can supports the blower specifications: 120 Volt 60 Hertz 4 Amps 480 Watt

Are they gravity fed generators? If so, this is unlikely to work. If they are pump fed, this system should work?

My heater and pump filter are outside also. Although they both have a ground wire hooked upto a Ground circuit interrupter I keep them off the cement pad on a nonconductor and coveredwhen it rains. I would do the same if I were you, Life is good !
