hi teapot - unfortunately I can't find any hits from google for "new blue eco" / australian pages - take your points, so I really need to see some reallife measured figures on what the Viron P300 can do I guess. I'll do some googling...

thanks ChemGeek - I took the figures you did and converted to cost per quarter (i.e. assuming cycle water once per day) and go the below. I kind of suggests that the benefit in having a pump that can go lower than 1900 RPM to say 1400RPM is quite worth it. Difference in cost/quarter was about...

thanks mcoccia & chemgeek ChemGeek - Any ideas what the implication would be for saving electricity then with the Intelliflo's lower RPM's versus the Viron's 1900 RPM? So for a pool only (if I leave solar out of it) the difference in price here is roughly: Viron A$1300 (online stores down to...

Any feedback/comments on the Viron P300 however guys? Anyone able to comment on whether the Viron would really save less electricity than the Intelliflo? I read somewhere the Intelliflo gets up to 90% savings, and the Viron about 70%, but there was no justification in the article. Looking...

I'd be really interesting in hearing what made you decide to go that way? What about the risk of importing from overseas and how the warranty would work?

Hi, I have been looking into the Pentair Intelliflo, however I have come across this Viron P300 Pump which seems to be less expensive. Also assuming I go for replacing my filter pump only (not solar pump as well) then perhaps the 3hp Intelliflo is overkill anyway, as my current Pool pump is...

thanks - that's good to know One last thing I think (I think) - If I did want to have the ability to have the system have 3 modes ("filter on", "solar on", "filter & solar on"), then how could I plumb the pipes and values to allow for this? Such that there was always one path open in case of...

thanks again guys I'll have to get back to you on some of this. Haven't found the details of the purchase yet as it was years ago now. What I can do is attach some photos of the roof area. Also: * re solar panels - well they're not really panels - refer photos - not sure if this is now...

It's 2" by the looks. What does this tell then chem geek? In fact, is there a way to determine for sure whether the intelliflo could handle my solar, or handle by solar+filter ok? For example if I bought some sort of pressure meter and run it on the inputs & outputs of each pump, would I...

thanks for the response chem geek - re... Oh. Assuming for the moment I may be able to get the pump to handle for solar, then in this case would I not want to avoid putting the solar path through the filter as well? That is it would add more resistance wouldn't it? Simplistically if my solar...

Hi, Background - I am considering purchase of the Pentair Intelliflo to save electricity costs for my existing pool filter pump & pool solar heater pump. Request - Is anyone able to review my below existing setup and provide an indication of what (a) components I would need to purchase and...
