It would be recommended to observe the pump size rating (horsepower) and replace with a swimming pool pump that has a similar flow curve. In terms of brand name, there is no reason that you need to use the existing brand again unless you want to.
In simplest terms, an above ground pool pump is a flooded suction pump, which means the water level must be higher than the pump for it to operate, and an inground pump has the ability to draw water up from a level lower than the pump. The engineering and structure of these two different types of pumps is what makes them work the way they do. This means that, in a typical installation, you could use an inground-specific pump on an above ground pool, but not an above ground pump on an inground pool with the water level below the pump.

You may have a new pump and motor, but it sounds like the internals of the filter itself are broken and should be either repaired or replaced.

You can probably find the plumbing to step down to the right size but the pool pump will have more water flow then a garden hose can safely handle. Your going to ruin either the pump or yourself.
A heat pump can be quit noisy. Possibly some of the newest ones are quieter. Almost all new pumps now are fairly quiet. Some are even called whisper-flo.
To winterize your inground swimming pool, first backwash the filter, and then disconnect the pump. Purchase winterizing chemicals for the pool water, and be sure to use a pool cover.
The size of your filter limits the size of the pump, a 1 hp sta rite dura glas is great pump a 1hp should do you . If you have solar 1 1/2 hp is needed to push the water up on the roof.
== == My pool is about 15 yrs old. It is 15,400 gal, with a 600 gal spa next to it, and they both run off the same 1.5hp pump. Works great. In my case, the spa dumps excess water into the pool, so I keep the pool & spa returns open all the time and the overflow eliminates worrying about balancing the water flow. Jim. Our pool is 20000 gal and a spa next to it with 1000 gal both operated by a 2 hp Jacuzzi brand pump for the last 10 yrs, also 5 solar panels on the roof for heating....works great corys530
Well, it depends on the size of heat pump and the size of pool! However, a 30x12 ft, 2-3.5ft deep pool with an 18kw heater will take 4 to 5 days.
Poolerific! (...Warning this is not a real brand
Keep it full of water. Otherwise, put gravel below and around the pool before it is built, then install a shaft and put in a sump pump. make sure the sump pump is on whenever the pool is to be empty.
