You could use a standard 3-way switch. It won't have the center off position so you'll have to be sure to turn the pump off elsewhere before switching speeds.
Ants killed my pump again...replacement ideas?

Boy am I dense!
I was just poking around, and yes, a "3-way" switch, commonly used in household 110 wiring will do the trick. I have a pile of 'em.
Now, I can finally have a 3-way in my pool! :-D

Hey, I finally got around to buying some wire and hooking this thing up as 2 speed.
It was surprisingly easy to thread the new wire through the existing wire hose.
It is pushing only 2psi on low, versus 12 psi on fast...is 2 psi OK?
It has turned up some sort of pinhole leak, with the water flowing so slowly, air is building up in the SWG...will try re-lubing the spider gasket tomorrow, as there is no air leaking in while in "Recirculate" mode.

That may be typical for low speed. Water flow is high enough to keep the flow switch working, but slow enough that the gas builds up in the cell.
