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.
A 15 x 30 cost about $800.00 more to install, and $800.00 more for the pool package. That is $1600.00 more for a smaller, weaker pool. When you compare the differences, you begin to understand why the 24 round is the most popular of all the above ground pool choices. I actually prefer a 21 round over a 24.
