is this pump powerful enough for a 24 foot above ground pool?

look to see how many gallons of water that your pool is and buy a pump that support that many gallons

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 this pump connected to a water tank, and pump through a paper filter. It has enough power to do that. But drawing up from the 10' depths of a pool and pushing through a diatomaceous earth filter would take a bit more. I would recommend a slightly larger pump.

Yes, that will work. Be mindful that you don't try to run it through 3/4 for more than a few feet though. It's a great little pump!

The pump is pretty powerful but i don't know for sure. I used mine in a wading pool with a turtle in it and it worked fine. That was about a foot of lift and it lifted it with no problem.

I have my above ground pool lowered almost 2' down and it had no problem pumping out the water. I don't think that you will have any problem at 4'.

This is a good pump, although not designed for that purpose, I do believe it would pump that distance. If you are pumping through hose the auto shut off feature may not work well. I would use pvc.

I think it should, as my pool is 18Ft. by 48" and it does a fine job. Do not expect this pump to vac large amounts of debris from the bottom, but.....it will do a nice job of keeping the pool clean. I bought this pump because one, it is super quiet, two, it costs less than the pool and three it is high quality construction. Granted, you can get a pump that will vac a swamp clean, but you will pay 400+ for that kind of power.Bottom line, if you are pulling a bull dozier, buy more power. But if you are in a two seat compact, buy the low power model.

Yes. We use it on an Intex above ground pool & it works fine. You will need to purchase pole & hose separately, since it does not come with vacuum head.

Technically, that's 3 feet above its rated maximum head (which is 21 feet). That doesn't mean it won't work for that application. It would just be less efficient than a larger pump with higher head rating. It also depends on how often the pump will run. Forcing the pump to push a higher column of water than its rated would probably make it wear out sooner.

It should. But I guess it depends on the size of your pump. My above ground pool is 15x30 ad it works great with a 1/4 hp motor

SIr, Not a specailst, however more of a practicalist. If to raise 18ft then I suggest you use the biggest , most practicle pump, and use number 10 wire, rather than the house wiring of 12. You dont need any heat either in the wire feeding it or the pump itself. Best I can do for an answer, yours , Rowland Baker

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

Hi Fran, The pump is at my beach home. I am at my other home, 40 miles away. On the web sight the cord is 24'. You might want to look for Swimming Pool Cover Pumps. In the past week with heavy rain,the pump has done a great job. Good Luck

If your pool is 15 feet by 36 feet it will not be able to clean your pool enough. If your pool is 15 feet round and 3 feet tall, this pump would work ok, but you could use a smaller pump and cost you a lot less.

I live at about 1800 ft above sea level, and every time I have used this pump, it has pulled 29 inches of vacuum without problem. It helps to ensure that you have high quality vacuum pump oil in the pump to the proper level BEFORE beginning your operations.
