An above-ground pump may experience low pressure due to several factors, including insufficient water supply or a clogged intake filter. Additionally, air leaks in the suction line or improper pump sizing can also lead to pressure issues. Finally, a malfunctioning pump or worn-out components can reduce its efficiency, contributing to low pressure. Regular maintenance and inspection can help identify and resolve these issues.
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.

Either a 50 OR A 75 would do it.

You would really only have to buy a Salt Cell which you would attach on to the output of the pump going into the pool. You should already have a Filter, and Pump.
NO
If there is no drain plug then you can use a sump pump.
What is a normal operating pressure for a jacuzzi sand filter for an above ground pool?"
You could use your pool pump. or get a submersible pump. it is also not difficult to siphon an above ground pool with a pool vacuum hose. all you need is somewhere to run the water to.
The calculation will depend on how deep in the ground the submersible pump is installed and where the outlet for the water is e.g. is it above ground. Speak to the company that installed the pump to see if they can provide you with that data.
We have a 24' foot round above ground with 13000.00 gallons of water and that only requires a 1 hp pump a 2 hp pump may be overkill and cost more to operate
The pressure available to push liquid into the pump inlet, often referred to as the "suction pressure," typically ranges from atmospheric pressure to a few psi above atmospheric, depending on the system design and conditions. In many cases, a vacuum is created to assist in drawing the liquid into the pump. Additionally, the liquid's height above the pump inlet can contribute to the pressure available, known as static head. Proper system design ensures that this pressure is sufficient to avoid cavitation and ensure optimal pump performance.
