On a swimming pool a 2 hp pump should have greater pressure and volume than a one and a half hp pump. then why is the pressure and the volume the same with both motors in filter mode?

a 2 hp pump has a stronger motor it does not necessarily run a bigger pump. It sounds like in your case the pump in the old motor was just as good as the pump on the new motor. There are other considerations to keep in mind such as was the old pump a high head pump and how did the new pump compare with it in that way. A high head pump will give you more pressure. Pool hydraulics: Even if you replaced a 1.5 hp pump with a 7 hp pump you will not get any more flow out of the system than the Plumbing can handle. You can only put so much water thru a 1.5" pipe. One soultion would be to change the plumbing to 2" or even better 3". However that is impractical. The 2 hp pump is going to cavitate and will have a shortened life because it is working harder than it was designed to. Replacing an older style pump with the new more efficient pumps of todays designs needs to be done carefully. You need to do some homework on the hydraulics of your particular pool. But that is a lengthy discussion and complicated for a novic. Bottom line in replacing old pump with new - - - downsize with the new pump - selecting a lower hp rating like - a one hp or even a .75 hp would work more efficiently than the 2 hp. And it would save you in electricity costs and pay for itself within 2 yrs.

actuator same as motor, it transducer that converts one energy form into another, such as air pressure, fluid pressure to linear or rotational motion.motors convert the electrical signal to rotational motion, there are many types of motors like a electric motors which convert electric into rotation motion, Pneumatic motors convert compressed air into rotation motion. Hydraulic motors convert fluid pressure into rotation motion.

What is good pool pump pressure?
The lower the better some run around 9 psi with new filter media, as the filter media gets old the filter has to work harder so the pressure will go up in the filter, so what you need to do to see if you filter is running ok, is to simply take your hand and place it in front of a inlet in the pool if it pushes your hand away you have good pressure take a reading at the filter and see what you have. If it does not push you hand away you will have high pressure at the filter and filter media may need changing or the filter may need backwashing, we have people who refuse to put a new pressure gauge on their filters they say they cost too much, and that's how they check their pressure.
