Is there a "preferred" make/model of variable speed pump? I'm looking for non-subscription, remote management (RS-485, or other) support, if possible. Would you suggest going with a whole new pump (optimized design??) or just a motor (much cheaper) with a 15+ year old pump head?

Thanks for those test kit models. I'll look them up right away. Any thoughts on the variable speed motor/pump or automatic diverter questions? I really do need to see about lowering my electrical bill on this property and I'd love not to make another mistake. I bought this single speed motor...

I found the Poolmath page and put in the numbers I have. I did find a chemical test kit of my dad's but I am sure the reagents are old. Are all kits (brands) just as good as each other or is there something I should target? I tried one of these multi-probes but it didn't correlate with the...

That part is a chemistry issue but I also am after lowering my ongoing costs. I figured I caking would diminish if I lowered the power to the SWG, more, since I could run the pumps longer. But to speak to the issue and not using my chemistry, the local shop measured: Total Chlorine: 3ppm...
