Thanks for all the input. I am going to look at a new solar panel controller and then decide on the new pump configuration, probably a VS.

I see your point and I am very glad you mentioned it. I feel that I am back to square one in making a decision. On one hand I need the higher speed to run my solar which is on most of my pump cycle, but I would love to save some $$ on my electrical bill. Is there a good single speed 3/4 hp pump...

Yes there is a solar valve on the system and I open a bypass valve to alleviate pressure directly to the panels. I replaced the panels 2 years ago because of failure at teh seams that were attributed to too much pressure. The new panels are working fine and I just have to make sure that the...

Ok, now I am back to being confused as to whether a 2 speed pump or a VS is better? If my solar is getting too much pressure with even my current single speed 3/4hp pump, all the 2-speeds I am seeing are rated at 1.5hp. It appears that I need to go to a VS just to get my hp down and thus my psi...

Yes, my solar is controlled by a Compool (LX-220) box. As stated in my initial post, I have had the problem of too much pressure to my solar collectors. Would a small VS integrate with the Compool controller?

After just receiving my latest energy bill, I finally decided it is time to look at changing my one speed pool pump to something more efficient. I have read more websites posts than I care to count and need a little help in making an intelligent decision. Current SetUp I currently have a Hayward...

Thank you for confirming what I thought. I could not believe that that Sodium bicarbonate would do what the PB said it would. Like I mentioned above, the whole plaster job has turned into a debacle and next week I have a meeting with the VP of the company. The pool is getting re-plastered as far...

Yes,the best attempt at aeration is to point the pool returns up towards the surface. I just don't see how after putting in 12 gallons of muriatic acid in a 19,000 gallon pool, Sodium bicarbonate is going to do the job of bringing up the pH in a timely fashion instead of soda ash. I also...

Well our nightmare pool remodel continues.Remodel was started the first week of June and we still haven't had a swim yet. During the plastering process, the PB did not mix the dye in the hopper long enough and we got dark blue color streaks in the finish.The finish we chose was Luna Quartz by...

Thank you for the information. I ordered the 35K AutoPilot system for my pool. I a looking forward to trying something different in our pool after 20 years of chlorine bottles!!

I was referred over to this website from another pool site. What a lot of great information. I am about to do a pool remodel (luna quartz resurface, new plumbing and surrounding decking) and the PB suggested a SWG system while we were at it.. In doing research,thanks to this great forum, I have...
