You have to match the the water hydraulics with the capacity in GPM of the filter, the heater, the pump. All have to be in sink with the rest of the system. Each type filter ( D E, cartridge, sand) have different GPM ratings. Now once you have done that you have to factor in the hydraulics of the pool Plumbing ( 90's, couplings, 45's, length and size of pipe, one or 2 skimmers, other devices installed at or in pool or equip. pad. You just can not slap a filter or a pump and think you are through with the installation. You must do your homework prior to purchasing the filter, or any other piece of equipment.

How do you hook up the pluming from pool to pump?

It really depends on the type of filter and pump arrangement you have. Generally, a hose would connect from the skimmer of the pool ( the round box on the pool wall - most pools) to the suction side of the pump (the virtical part with the basket inside)(the one with the motor attached); then, from the outlet or discharge side (usually just above the motor) to the filter inlet. From the filter outlet back to the pool return wall fitting or eyeball. k
