The pump is rated to produce (x) amount of GPM. (gallons per minute) If your wondering about the pressure the pump will produce, It depends on a lot of variables, like at what point in the system output you measure and how far from the pump (friction loss). The pump name plate should show some data, start there. Go online and get the data for that specific pump. Check with Mfg of pump.

The length of a pool is 10 ft, the width is 10 ft, the volume is 2,700 cubic ft. we are trying to find out the height.
V = L x W X H
2700 = 10 x 10 x X
2700 = 100 x X
x = 2700/100
x = 27

You should be able to do that in your head.

Simple keys to a beautiful clean pool.
There are 3 keys to a clean swimming pool; filtration, circulation and chemistry. Not having the right amount of any one of these keys will soon cause the pool to be dirty. Filtration requires a filter that allows enough flow and catches any particles in the water. Circulation means enough water is circulating. Chemistry is having the chemicals to the right levels in the pool. The most important component to accomplish these keys is the pump. If the pump doesn't work then the filter doesn't work, the water is not circulating and since chlorine feeders need circulation to deliver enough chlorine to the pool, not having a working pump quickly causes the pool to go green.

I cannot start pumping. the pump runs but no water is circulating
I think you have spun the center out of your impeller. Disassemble your pump and replace the impeller if necessary. Also replace all seals while you are at it.

Remove the cartridge and see what happens with the flow. If the flow returns to 'normal' with no cartridge, that tells you the cartridge needs cleaning or replacement.
