Troubleshooting an issue right now that might just require a new gfci, or possibly a new pump.
I am not the original owner and don't know how old this outdoor pump is. dyna-tech C1245 (looks like this model is sold by several companies). Can't decode serial number for manufacture date, maybe somebody knows? 130611E0312.
Anyhow, I'm looking at new pumps just in case and I'm not sure what makes the most sense. Right now I run about 10 hours a day off and on using a manual timer installed at the panel. Pool also has a brominator for sanitizing.
Current pump is single speed 1HP @ 3450rpm. I pay ~.09kwh.
I assume this isn't a yes or no answer, but I'm wondering if I can run the pump at 1/2 speed at maybe longer hours each day and just use full speed for vac? Is there any benefit to the variable speed vs the dual for my situation?
A pump like this looks like it would fit my current system.
Pentair WFDS-24 WhisperFlo Up-Rated Dual Speed Energy Efficient 1HP Pool Pump, 115V
This is already about $400 more than just replacing the motor... But I'm not in love with the current wetside system either. Would probably need a professional install as the current piping is pretty old and could use some love.
