We're in the process of building an in ground pool. It's 18' round, so about 7500 us galons. Will this pump be ok for that?

I would not recommend this for anything except an above ground. An inground pool requires much more plumbing and the pressure has to travel a farther distance I do not think it would suffice.

We bought this pump for our utility sink in the basement. It works well for us, pumping up the pipe 8' in height. You may want to check the manufacturer's specs if further information is needed. Sorry I could not provide further information.

Hi, That is a large pool, I would recommend a Hayward Tri-Star 2HP pump or Hayward Eco-Star, Thanks,

It will work, however if you use you pool allot or it gets dirty easily I would go with a bigger pump.

I am using it on a 11.5K gallon in ground with a 3/4hp pump. no problems whatsoever. the hayward site offers tips on determining size. this one was a bit bigger, i could have gone with a C900, but this filters more water in a shorter timeframe. You want to be sure it will circulate your entire pool in 10 hours. One note, you can go somewhat bigger on a cartridge filter, but dont do it on a sand filter.

I have a 24' pool and this pump is amazing. I had a sand filter before this one and it definately didn't keep the pool as blue and sparkly as this. I don't think it would be too strong, definitely efficient for sure!

Although this pump only has one speed, I would highly recommend it. We have a 24 ft. above ground pool and it works great!

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.

Your 18x48 pool holds a little over 7,000 gallons of water. That means a 1,000 GPH pump will filter all the water in about 7 hours. It's usually recommended to filter all the water in about 8 hours, so yes, this pump should work.

I used a two stage (hi & low) 1-1/2hp pump on my 24' pool. We ran that on low most of the time. I wouldn't hesitate to use this pump on a 24' pool. This is a good strong pump and filter.

I have roughly a 18000 gallon pool and it handles it just fine. The important thing is to make sure you are using a matched pump. I have a 1-1/2hp pump.

Vickie, yes this is for in ground pools. I purchase this one and fit right in where my old one was. It has a very good suction and return. Its worth the price.

We bought this and we have a 18x52 above ground pool and it's more than powerful enough. It's a great filter/pump.

I do not believe this is for your application. This is an above ground pump.

You would probably want a larger pump... 1.5hp. This one is great for my 18 round (7000 gal) pool. I was very happy with the quality and the filter size would probably suit your pool.

i would say yes. You will need some adapters, eather from intex or from hardware store. As fare as the volume of filtration and chlorine generating system goes this will be big enough. As long as I understand your pool dimension are 18' x 48" deep, round pool. When you set it up it will depend on how many gallons your pool is. (6500- 8500) or so. The pump will run longer the bigger the pool. Yours maybe 4 hours or so. If you get it, take one of the hoses with you to the store I'm sure you can find something to work. Like I seid in another comment there is a lot of stuff on youtube of other people with Good ideas that work. Good luck. And enjoy i would say yes.

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
