    Can I fill the pool halfway through the remodel?

    Some of you may recall my last thread where the guy we hired to resurface the pool and put mosaic tile up did such a horrible job I fired him after the third day.

    Can I use this relay for my SuperFlo 1HP?

    Trying to figure out my wiring and I think this is my thinking and plan. (Yes, I think this is my thinking.) I only need high speed for the heater and can filter on low speed.
