I'm no expert, perhaps John will chime in here but you will have large particulate matter and lots of fish poop moving through that pump. I don't think a swimming pool pump would be built to stand up to this. You can have a good pump shipped to you for a lot less than the cost of replacing a pump that was not made for that purpose. I have heard a lot about the Oase pumps.

you dont want to use a swimming pool pump,they are energy hogs.my swimming pool pump uses 1500 watts.i have a performance pro 1/4 hp 4900 gal/hr.and uses 300 watts.you have to keep the pond pump going 24/7.
