I am in process of replacing a very old Hayward pump used for our waterfall. The pump is located 10' from the water. The ground / green wire was connected to the ground and the bonding terminal, it has been wired this way for almost 20 years. Is this setup okay or do I need to properly bond it...

I went with the variable speed but it may be a mistake depending on how the pump reacts to power on/off as I will be using pool automation. I will find out today when I hook it up to test. If it does not work as expected I will exchange for the single speed 1.5 Pentair. Let's see..... Now I...

Thank you both very much, I truly appreciate all of the information and attention you provided. It will definitely help me make an intelligent choice.

63 GPM I feel will be a trickle. When the pool was installed 20 years ago the Hayward was / is well beyond that number. Maybe the code is not 6GPM or it changed since then, dunno. I am really leaning towards the used (fully reconditioned) VS pump which should get me where I need to go. Cost is...

Not doubting you guys...well maybe a little :)... but I am not confident the 1HP will do the job

Right! Not easy :) It is 2". I had all the covers off last year for pool remodel and am pretty sure it is 2"

Looks like everything is 2"

Pipe below the cover - which cover? The rock? I believe it is also 2" let me go check Okay do you mean impeller for 3207 and 3210 paired with the 3220EE?

Oh then this might be a good option! Tristar no additional warranty used @ $600, or the VS with one year warranty (or two year for additional $39) @ $700.00 OTD

I could replace the impeller but really prefer not too once I get whatever installed under the rock. I am thinking whatever pump + valve flow control. The more I think about it the Variable speed is maybe the direction I should go. The local company here has a Variable speed pool motor that...

Shoot that is quite a bit more than the existing

Whisperflow is single speed, not sure of exact model (waiting for confirmation). Maybe WF or WFE Hayward Tri Star SP3220EE 2.0HP

Here is a good snap of the suction for waterfall
