Generally a pool pump "if it has settings" are either fast or slow. if it is the seatings on the top of the sand filter that are referred to these indicate what will happen with the water when it is on that settings. eg
filter Refers to the water going through the filer
backwash Refers to the dirt being removed from the filter to waste
rinse Refers to rinsing cloudy water out of the filter to waste after backwash

Do you need a different pump for a salt system?
No. The existing pool pump will work just fine.
How is an above ground pool pump different from an in ground pool pump?
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.

How can you return water out of your pump into the pool?
There are just a few easy actions you need to take to get the water from your pump back into the pool. Before anything else, check that the pump is wired in and primed. Make sure there is nothing clogging up the pump basket. Find the pool's water return inlet and proceed to the next step. This is a fixture that is typically installed on the pool's wall. Pool hose of an appropriate length should be attached to the pump's discharge port. The pool's return inlet should be connected to the hose's opposite end. When you're ready, activate the pump. After a while, water should start trickling through the hose and into the pool. Check for leaks in the plumbing and make sure the water is flowing freely. If the water flow rate is too slow or too fast, you can adjust the pump's settings. Proper water circulation and filtration rely on routine pump and pool equipment maintenance.
Where can you get drawings for the pump piping?
You need to regroup your thoughts and ask the question in a different way so that it makes sense. There is no piping in a pool pump. Do you mean to and from the pool to the equipment pad? Between the pump and the filter or between the filter and the heater? You have to be specific. K
Can an in ground pool slide be used for an above ground pool?
Generally...no. 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.

What will keep pool pump from sucking water from pool?
The pool pump does suck the water from the pool. Then it goes thru the filter and (if you use have the following) thru the heater and chlorinator then back into the pool. So - nothing will keep it from sucking water from the pool - but that's a good thing. Now - if you set the valve to a different setting - then it might actually send the water to a waste line - maybe that's what you meant. If that's the case -then the pool pump will eventually drain your whole pool if you have it set to get the water from the bottom drain (another valve).
