How to use the result

Treat this output as a planning estimate. Verify the final choice using the manufacturer’s current manual and pump curve, the filter’s design-flow limit and the requirements of any heater, cleaner, salt cell or water feature.

Measurements improve the answer

Pool volume, actual pipe diameter, clean-filter pressure, equipment elevation and voltage all affect the final selection. If those inputs are unknown, measure them before ordering equipment or changing electrical service.
