    New Pump Dilemma

    That's the real Humdinger. I did the cost analysis on Pentair's site. It looks like I would save about ~150/yr over the 2-speed. and about 650 over what I have now. That's crazy. so providing the VS pump lasts and Its programed correctly it would take 3-4 years to make up the cost from going to...

    New Pump Dilemma

    jblizzle, The reason its the same cost is because he is giving me a discount if I have it done with my pool opening vs. a service request. Also will the pool heater work on the slower speed on a 2-speed?

    New Pump Dilemma

    New Pump Dilemma

    New Pump Dilemma

    Thanks jblizzle. I thought about that too. If I were to order a 2-speed pump and have my our pool guy replace it would cost as much as Pentair Super-FLO VS 342000 pump. Our power is currently only about .11 or .12 p/kwh. It may be going up again as summer comes on though.

    New Pump Dilemma

    My old pump is getting loud and my energy bill from running are getting worse. I have a century 1hp pump with a SF of 1.4. 26,500 Gallon Pool. I was looking at the Pentair 011018 3 HP VS Pump but they also have a 1HP VS Pump 011008 but its like ~$100 more. I am thinking the increased HP of the...
