Re: Variable speed pump for hybrid solor panels
mas985,
been traveling to China. Sorry for delay.
I have 12" of 1.5" pipe BEFORE the Flow meter and 24" of 1.5" pipe AFTER the flow meter. The pool installation person told me this was good enough.
However, I cannot find any model number markings like you pointed me to in you last post. I fear I might have a 2" flow meter installed in 1.5" pipe. Are there any good ways to know what Blue&White unit I have? Is there a conversion table for such cases?
Here are the still pictures (as a slideshow) that shows the plumbing above pump system.

It also shows the sand run-out dump from the Tritton II.
Here on YouTube is the video which shows all plumbing, the startup of solar, the pressure gauge, the flow meter, and the pool to which it goes.

If you use the "top of the float" to get GPM, then I am in the 80 gallons per minute class. I am hoping the flow meter does not match the plumbing diameter size and that is the cause for all the problems you saw with my pressures and flow rates. let me know what you think.
