Hmmmm....someone has a Waterway 2 speed going on 8 years now and likes it very much....I thought perhaps it was going in the Spring, but she's still out there haulin' water. 
Need help choosing a pump (maybe a filter too?)
- Thread starter mcmoyer
- Start date
I ended up ordering a Hayward on Friday after checking around locally to see if anyone had any 2 speed for an above ground. It's funny, the ones that didn't carry them all tried to convince me that I wouldn't save any money with a 2 speed vs single speed.
Wow! Ordered the pump at 6:42 pm on Friday, received it today. That was some quick shipping, especially considering that it was free. Amerimerc.com FTW

I agree.
quick update:
I got the pump installed last night. Although the pump I replaced seemed like it was a 2hp, this pump in high speed moves about 150% more water than the previous one. My other pump would stop sending anything through the sand filter around 16psi. This one is sending 13psi from a freshly backwashed filter.
The low speed seems to put out just a little less than the original pump did. I'm glad my pump died now. I think my pool is going to be easier to maintain with this pump. Although, it looks like I'm going to have to get faster at vacuuming to waste so I don't drain the whole pool
