You can replace it with a 10 horsepower pump if you want to. The pump's horsepower has little to do with how much water you use in the house. That is mostly a function of the size of storage tank you have.

The 3/4 hp pump is much better, along with a larger tank. May you enjoy the results of your decision.

Best Wishes
