How to choose between them
Above-ground pumps sit at or below the water level and push through short hose runs, so a smaller pump often does the job. Match the hose or pipe size and the filter's rated flow.
A pump's maximum flow is measured with almost no resistance; at your pool's real pipe and filter resistance it moves less. The pump size calculator works out the flow your pool needs.
