Peco is offering $200 rebates on VS pumps and it got me thinking....
Current Setup
@30,000 gallons
Pump AO Smith 1hp SF 1.65
1 skimmer
1 return for Polaris 360
1 (split to 2 near pool) return
48 sq ft DE
1.5" pipe
My goals
1. Be able to support SWG
2. Possibly run Polaris with out have to direct more water to it than the DE
3. Save $ on electricity
4. Be able to support heater addition in the future
I was looking at the Pentair VS 3hp 01108 (I know my 1.5" pipe won't allow it to run at full speed) but I think it is overkill?
Would a Pentair VS Superflow 1.5 hp be better and meet my goals?
Are there other VS pumps in the 1.5 to 2.0 hp range that would be better?
Thanks,
Andrew
