I set 1200 RPM , 4 hours.

Hi , I have just installed the new Hayward SP3400VSP and trying to determine the proper RPM schedule. My in ground pool seems to be about 7500 gallons (the size is 25'x10'x4'). At full speed of 3750 RPM the pump is generating about 18 PSI on the filter manometer. Plumbing is 2", one...

ordered Hayward SP3400VSP

For those who are interested, this is what I bought on ebay to build the current sensing circuit. Spent less than $50 combined.

I meant "around 10A" ... 10.9 is still close, but Intelliflo's 16 Amps are way too far.

Yes, that's the pump I mentioned in my initial post. But I am wondering if there are any alternatives. I just checked Pentair Superflo VS and it is $100 cheaper and 10A max, but it is not a permanent magnet motor (= more noisy and less efficient if I understood correctly)

Well I prefer stainless steel or bronze or anodized aluminum or (let me dream more...ha-ha) for the durable outdoor things. The pool is small - the size is about 25'x10'x4' - I think the volume is 7000 gallons, if I did not miscalculate. May be my current pump is an overkill but I run it...

I was wrong - there is a label. It is P4E6F-152L - probably Sta-Rite Max-E-Glas model. My electricity cost is 30c/ kW I considered the 2 speed motor as the first option but then I found out it costs almost the same (pump + electronic timer supporting 2-speed pump), but leaves the old 15 year...

I don't know the pump p/n it is old and has no labels on it. Has 2" piping and SQ1152 pump. My pool is in ground pool, have no idea why my signature says otherwise, maybe forum's default setting. VS pump is needed for electricity bill reduction and better neighbor's sleep.

I will be replacing my old pump as well along with the old motor. I need a new permanent magnet variable speed quiet pump. I am looking for the same amps ratings because at full speed of the new variable speed pump I would like to have approximately equal flow rate with my old SQ1152. SQ1152...

Hi It would be great to have an advice on the possible upgrade of my old SQ1152 pool pump with a variable speed pump. SQ1152 is a 10A pump and the only reasonable 10A option I found is Hayward SP3400VSP. It looks like it is made of black plastic on the pictures, so I wanted to look for...

Jason Thank you. Any recommendation on the flow relay? I have 2 concerns - 1) the paddle of the flow switch like this http://www.amazon.com/Amico-Thread-Paddle-Switch-HFS-25/dp/B0094G9UXY/ is too short to reach water - I have a 2" plumbing and the PVC tee prevent the paddle to be in deepen...

Hi I currently have an SQ1152 main pump motor and an additional booster pump for Polaris 280 vacuum. They are programmed though the mechanical Intermatic T10404R dual dial timer. I am thinking to replace the SQ1152 with the Hayward SP3400VSP variable speed pump that has it's own timer on top...

Qwaxalot - thank you, good point! Now i need to figure out how to pull the burner out - it seems this is not an easy thing to do - the gas line prevents from doing that.
