Currently have a very budget 8 x 4 fiber pool that was pumped by a .75hp chinese LX pump which I always felt was low flow but wasnt sure if it was just old / weak or not enough power spec. Pump has died and I cant get an impeller anywhere (even tho there are companies selling the pumps.. No parts !! and no reply from china HQ after many attempts.. Usual bad budget choice) so new pump time. Currently powering it with the spa pump which is noisy and higher hp. 

Next year the whole lot is being pulled out and I hope to fit in a +- 10x5 overflow concrete pool and redo to a salt system and a few nicer features. None of it is properly specced out yet but assume a 1.5 deep end and a 1m shallow end, steps and features I am guessing 60 - 70 cube volume ?? 

 

Makes sense to buy a pump now that will easily operate that kind of volume and healthy overflow. What hp / flow rate should I consider ? 

Price is secondary (but not irrelevant) to lifespan, parts availability, efficiency.. So basically suggestions on a 'decent' brand without looking for the greatest. Theres stuff on lazada for 5k but I assume it will be chinesium junk.. Emaux seem well supported ?? 

Any advice or things I am unaware of ??
