Will an above ground pool pump work on an inground pool?
The main difference between inground and aboveground pool pumps is that inground pumps are “self-priming”, and aboveground pumps are not. Can you use an aboveground pool pump on an inground pool?

Similarly, it is asked, how far can pool pump be from pool?Shorter pipe runs = less work for the pump which extends the life of the pump and uses less electricity. Our projects typically average a distance of 20–40 feet from the pool to the equipment, but as stated earlier, much longer runs are sometimes required.Furthermore, how does an above ground pool pump work? Above ground swimming pool pumps are powered by electricity and form the heart of a pool’s circulation system, taking water from the pool and propelling it through the filter before sending it back to the pool through the return port. Consequently, what size pump do I need for my above ground pool? For round above ground pools up to 24 ft. ( pools with less than 15,300 gallons) use a 1 HP pump. For round above ground pools over 24 ft. (pools with more than 15.300 gallons) use a 1.5 HP pump.Do you run pool pump while swimming?Although it’s generally recommended that all the pool water undergo filtration every 24 hours, the pump does not need to run all the time. If your pool is in constant use, you may need to run the pump for up to eight hours per day, frequently checking the water clarity and chemical balance.
