== == My pool is about 15 yrs old. It is 15,400 gal, with a 600 gal spa next to it, and they both run off the same 1.5hp pump. Works great. In my case, the spa dumps excess water into the pool, so I keep the pool & spa returns open all the time and the overflow eliminates worrying about balancing the water flow. Jim. Our pool is 20000 gal and a spa next to it with 1000 gal both operated by a 2 hp Jacuzzi brand pump for the last 10 yrs, also 5 solar panels on the roof for heating....works great

∙ 11y agoGenerally...no. In simplest terms, an above ground pool pump is a flooded suction pump, which means the water level must be higher than the pump for it to operate, and an inground pump has the ability to draw water up from a level lower than the pump. The engineering and structure of these two different types of pumps is what makes them work the way they do. This means that, in a typical installation, you could use an inground-specific pump on an above ground pool, but not an above ground pump on an inground pool with the water level below the pump.

∙ 11y agoYou might find the spa filter to be too small. The spa pump would be strong so you would need to have an appropriately sized filter to handle the flow-rate.

Can you replace a shallow well pump with an above ground pool pump and will it have enough suction lift to lift the water 20ft?
Above ground pool pumps are made to sit at or below the water level, not to pull water up. If placed above the water level, or away from the pool-side they will not circulate the water properly and may not even prime. For your well, a better option is to go for an in-ground pool pump - or better still, purchase a pump made for your particular application.
