I found this 3/4hp 2 speed, since I currently run 6 hours and am probably getting about 5 water changes per day, I could run this at half speed and still get 2 changes. Are there any others you would suggest...

I have a 3/4 hp pump that runs 6 hrs a day, 5000 gal pool. I measured it at 121V at 10.4A, 1260W, or $25/day or $300/yr. The pentair website says I'm using $373 per year and if switching to the intelliflow variable speed I would save $300/year. This doesn't seem very likely to me. But even...

Both valves pictured were shut off accidentally, so the output had no where to go. Yes there is quite a bit of air in the pump strainer area now, it is pushing water, but I would say at about 60-75% of what it normally did. I'm thinking about just getting a whole new variable speed pump, even...

Thanks for the responses. AftonJeeper if you are referring to the third pic, that is water flowing over the pump due to the leak on the outlet port, the pump housng appears to be fine, and it still does work, just seems to be reduced flow, so I don't know if the impeller or internals are...

My pump ran dry for 3-4 hours, amazingly it still works, although at about 80% pressure and is sucking some air. It is leaking quite a bit out of top outlet port (where the pump body meets the PVC). These idiots glued everything directly to each other so there is not really an easy fix, I'll...
