I may be purchasing a Wayne 3/4 hp sump pump from Amazon.com. I am
replacing a 1/2 hp unit. Does anyone have any opinions about Wayne
or how much noise a 3/4 hp unit might make? Does the extra quarter
hp make much of a difference in noise and output?


Why dont you get it sized properly according to pipe sizing, gals in
the pool and how much turnover you need in a day?
Bigger isnt always better. You might have more noise, higher electric
bills and a pool that doesnt get crystal clear. Do it right. Its not
that hard.

Do you usually use sump pump to get crystal clear pool water?

Do you have a good reason to think the O.P. is trying to do that?
