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.
Yes it wont make any difference at all.
Absolutely: The equipment does not know the difference in what chemical you are using.

A sump pump is submerged in a pit. It keeps house from flooding. A utiliity pump is used to pump water out of already flooded house, boat, pool, tank, etc....

First of I think you may be referring to the pool filter not the pump. "Filter" runs the water thru the filter thus filtering the water. Recirculate, I believe, bypasses the filter media and sends the water back to the pool unfiltered. K
When choosing a pool pump for your swimming pool, consider the size of your pool and the flow rate needed for proper circulation. It is recommended to select a pump that can circulate the entire volume of your pool in 6-8 hours. Consult with a pool professional to determine the appropriate size pump for your specific pool size and needs.
The most efficient method for removing water from a pool using a pool water removal pump is to position the pump at the lowest point in the pool, connect a hose to the pump, and then turn on the pump to suction out the water. This method allows for the water to be quickly and effectively removed from the pool.
there is probably something in the pool that got into the pump
To determine the size of the pump you need for your pool, calculate the volume of your pool in gallons and choose a pump that can circulate the entire volume in 8 hours.
To effectively pump water out of a pool, you can use a submersible pump or a pool pump. Place the pump at the lowest point in the pool and connect a hose to the pump to direct the water to a drain or a safe area. Turn on the pump and let it run until the desired water level is reached. Make sure to regularly check the pump and hose for any clogs or issues.
I would say 10 yards easy. if the ground is flat.. if the pump is lower that the pool ? it may take a bigger pump ..use pvc. and never use tread tape on a plastic pump ! your pool pump repair guy in longwood fl.
