At this point so far, nothing I would do differently. Everything is working great. My SWG is an old hayward aquarite. I got it over 10 years ago.

Yeah! Works great at both speeds now.

Follow up. I ended up following Technikal's advice and purchased the 1HP B2982 and raw switch. I wish my timer housing was as roomy as his! Installed the motor last weekend and just hooked up low and it works awesome and very quiet. It quickly primed and shortly after my no flow light turned...

Thanks. Nothing is ever easy. That motor is a 56Y frame. I look at my existing starite pump and stand, for a 48Y, and while there is a tiny little rubber piece in there, I don't see how removing that is going to accommodate the larger frame motor. Removing that, I see it giving me 1/8"...

Thanks guys. I am now leaning toward that B2983 two speed motor. It does appear to have a lower low speed current draw than a lot of other two speed motors. I figure 1.6amp X 220v is 352 watts. Way better than 2200 watts! Interestingly that motor does not come up on inyo's motor page or...

Another question about that B2983 dual speed 3600/1800 rpm motor. I see it's rated for 1.5hp and 10/1.6 amps. I assume the 1.6 amps is at the low speed. I can't find equivalents for the VGreen 270. I think it's a 2.7hp/.75 hp. What is the B2983 equivalent? Half the rpms, but 1/5 the amps...

Wow. 200 watts adds up, 20 not so much. I would probably not bother with different speeds then. The only benefit then to the variable is that I can fine tune how low I want to go.

No problem, thanks! I looked up that B2983 motor. $324 at inyo. Might as well get that hilo switch that nicely integrates into the back cover, so another $42. I still need new impeller,diffuser, etc so another $65. So now I am at $431. And a very easy wiring job. I guess if I wanted I...

I have actually thought about just a two speed and a switch. That was my original idea. Nobody locally carried any two speed motor. Funny though, while at pinch a penny getting the water tested, I overhead them take a call asking for a two speed (that they had none in stock), and just go into...

Yes, I have looked at the Pentair 342001 SuperFlo VS 1.5hp. It does have a friendlier controller, 24 hour memory, and I can remote mount the display, but no aux relay. I understand that most people just wire their pumps for 24/7 and leave their SWG on the original timer, but let's face it...

So if I did go the route of just keeping the SWG on the original timer then I can really look at any variable speed pump then. One thing I did NOT like about the jandy, was that JEP-R controller. Really, Jandy, would it have killed you to provide a few extra buttons for Start, Stop, Quick...

Good point! I've read through both the v-green and jandy manuals and something I forgot to mention, as you pointed out, the jandy's auxiliary relay is LOCKED to 1725rpm. The v-green 270 allows me to set at what rpm it triggers the auxillary relay. If I just put a variable speed motor on my...

The time has come. After 10+ years, my pool pump motor is making horrible sounds. 1hp single speed, Starite PEA6E-124L pump, 12,000 gallon pool, 1.5" piping, cartidge filter, and an aqua rite salt chlorinator. No other features, no water falls, no automatic pool cleaners, no solar hot water...
