The necessary size (or horsepower) of the pump can be determined by the following general rule-for above ground pools up to 24 ft round, use a 1 HP pump and for above ground pools over 24 ft round, use a 1.5 HP pump.
But there are some basic points which will help you draw a conclusion on which type of above ground pool to purchase. First, do you want a 48, 52 or 54â deep pool? Second, what size pool and shape best fits your backyard and your family. Lastly, always choose a pool with a SOLID warranty. Above ground pools can last for years if you choose the right one. Models which offer 100% warranties or guarantees for the first several years and then have a long pro-rated warranty period generally are the better pools.
