Pump Assy,
Had a 2 1/2 horse power pump from Rec. Warehouse would only put out 10-12 psi and was very noise. Installed this Hayward SP1580X15 Power-Flo LX Series Pump 1-1/2 Horse Power. Putting out 15psi and very little noise from pump. Only draw back is it only has one speed HIGH. Time will tell how well it works. I believe for the money you can not beat it, Rec. Warehouse wanted over $300. The pressure coming out of the return hose is great. Hope this helps you!

No on-off switch,
This pump has plenty of power attached to a sand filter for my 13,000 gallon above ground pool.Only problem is it has no on-off switch and you have to plug and unplug it to turn it on and off. The top comes off easily for cleaning the filter basket. Was simple to install to my filtering system. Durability – I run it nearly every other day for 3-4 hours and no problems so far- 4 months.
July 23,2011 – It is now 1 year later and my pump is still running strong. I would definitely recommend this pump.
August 18,2012 – It’s now 2 years later, still goin’!

Best cheap pool pump you can buy,
I bought this through Amazon, although the fulfillment was through “In the Swim”. It was delivered the next day with FREE shipping. It’s not a two speed, so there is no “silent” 24 hour mode, but it pumps a lot of water through your filter of choice and it’s not particularly loud when doing it. When you are splashing around in the pool, you can barely hear it and even when just floating around, it is easily tuned out.
To make it more useful since this model doesn’t come with a timer, pair it with a heavy duty out door timer like the Intermatic HB31R All Weather Outdoor Timer, which can be found here for about $15. Don’t buy a timer that is electronic, because they are more expensive and if the power disconnects, the on/off settings will reset when the power is restored. BTW, locally this same pump costs about $250-300, so it’s a great deal, especially with the quick free shipping!
