    Which Motor - VGreen 1.65HP or Ecotech EZ 3HP

    Thanks for the info, I definitely don't want to overload the motor. My pump end is the Hayward Super II Strainer w/ Model #: SPX3020AA

    Which Motor - VGreen 1.65HP or Ecotech EZ 3HP

    The total HP of my prior motor was 1.5 (HP x SF). I'm assuming my prior impeller was rated for 1.5 but do you think that it would be a necessary to increase the impeller since the VGreen is 1.65HP?

    Which Motor - VGreen 1.65HP or Ecotech EZ 3HP

    The sound difference (or should I say lack of sound) on this pump compared to my old single speed is incredible. Edit: Quick question for you, I replaced an older motor total HP of 1.5 (model# K48L2N104) but I didn't change my impeller and so far the VGreen 165 seems to be running fine w/ no...

    I just installed mine and am looking forward to the electricity savings. I'm curious though, what is your current filtering schedule setup like?

    Time for a VS pump. Thoughts on the Century VGreen 165

    I just replaced my old single speed motor with this V-Green 165. The installation was a breeze the 165 is much quieter. Did you end up installing yours or did you go with another pump?

    Just Installed a V-Green 165 Variable Speed Pump!

    A few days ago I replaced an old Hayward Super II Pump (Single Speed) with this new V-Green 165 (ECM16CU). I found an online pool store that sold it for $369. The install was pretty easy and I had it up and running within an hour. I've set it up with the following filtering schedule: 2 hours...

    Broken Internal Air Bleed Tube

    I have a Posi-Flo 135TXR Pool Filter and the internal air bleed tube broke off when removing my cartridge filter. It looks like part of the tank base came off with it too. Is anyone familiar with repairing this? Thanks!
