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.
You could just replace the capacitor, to see if that's the problem. Look on the side of the existing capacitor to read the microfarad size - 'MFD' or the UF numbers. Pool pumps may have two capacitors, one in the back (the start capacitor) and one on top (the run capacitor).
