Why it matters
The Doheny's 1.5 HP Pool Pump is a 1.5 hp pool pump rated for up to 97 GPM. Allowing for typical in-ground pipe and filter resistance, that flow turns over a pool of up to about 31,000 gallons every 8 hours.
Federal efficiency rules have required variable-speed technology on most standard-size in-ground filter pumps since July 2021, so check that a single or dual-speed pump is a legal replacement for your pool. It runs on 230 volts. Plumbing: 2 inch unions.
The listing gives dimensions of 27 inL x 11 inW x 15 inH, a weight of 37 pounds and stainless steel construction.
