maximum current of a 1hp
I have a 28,000 gallon pool and my pump is 1hp. Works fine.
the best pump is a sta-rite dura glas .. a 1hp is what i would use
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.
An uprated pump is a bit of a trick by the pump manufacturers. Basically, for the most part, they are playing with something called the "service factor" of the pump, that value should be found on the rating sticker on the pump under "service factor" or sometimes simply "S.F." The reason they can do this is an electric motor doesn't actually have a set in stone rating for Horse Power. Because of this they can put say a 1HP impeller, the part that actually moves the water, in a pump that has a 3/4HP "normally" rated motor and it will do the work of the 1HP. Thus they call it a 1HP but the service factor is different. The impellers don't cost any more so they are making a cheaper pump, but the cost to you will be in the future that 3/4HP motor will burn out quicker. It's being made to work harder. If you are shopping around for a pump, looking at the same make and model at different stores, be sure to note the service factor of each and take that in to account when looking at the difference in price. Hope this is understandable and helps.
Need to know the running amp draw. Starting amps would be useful l too. The average amp draw for a simple 1hp motor is about 7 amps, such as a fan motor. Ohms law says amps times voltage = watts, so 7 amp times 120v=840 watts. Consider that starting amperage is about 1-1/2 times running load, starting watts would be about 1200. You would need about a 1200 watt inverter to run that motor.
it is easy just lower its HP 2 to 1HP and use any kind of ball...
Some of this depends on what filter you have a depth. You're pretty safe around the 3/4 or 1hp range.

No. At least a 2Hp pump here. Also be sure your filter is large enough to handle the flow rate. Yes it will, provided that you let it run long enough and your plumbing is not too convoluted and your filter is large enough. You only need to get 17GPM, if you run the pump 24 hours a day. Most 1HP pumps these days can easily do that, even with 60 feet of head. If you plan on running solar pannels on a roof, then you will need 2HP.
1hp = 0.7457 kW 1hp = 745.7 W 1W = 1.341 hp you can use these conversion factors
Without seeing the installation of your system I would suspect that the pump is located well above the surface of the pool water level. You will have to add a check valve to the system before the pump not after. You may also have leaks in the system ~ either at the pump, the filter, the pump seal etc. It would be prudent to call a pool tech to trouble shoot & solve your situation if you cannot correct it within a day or so. Some things to check are: looking for water near the equipment. Could be pump seal, lid gasket, cracked pump housing, loose in and out fittings on the pump ~ this could be caused by overheating ~ the result of running the pump dry for periods at a time. Low water level in the pool ~ water not kept at the middle of the skimmer or there abouts. You could have a bad tank gasket/o-ring on the filter. k
