Thanks for that. All day i have been poking around pool school. So much info in there!

Although. In winter i move it to a 4 hour per day rate. Once the temp rises i rise the time up. I was also told around an hour for everyten degrees.

Well this is embarrassing. Someone told me ten hours. i think a pool tech told me that he recommends ten houra. I had him come out to tell me about the pool when we first moved in.

On cell now so forgive any errors. I have to run for about ten hours in the summer now. Probably longer with variable speed. Phoenix az. And the vac would be plugged in to a different line in the idealistic skim/vac scenario. i am hoping to complete an entire re-work of my setup. The multivalve...

That is what i am thinking, i cannot do it now, so really, it is not that critical. I just dont want the power bill like i have been having. WIth that in mind, i have maybe 20 feet of 1.5 line coming in from the skimmer. I feel the the MaxFlo, being the cheapest would be the best option at this...

Ugh, okay, so i was comparing the Super VS against the Max FLo - Super VS - http://www.hayward-pool.com/pdf/literature/Super-Pump-VS-Sell-Sheet-LITSUPVS13.pdf MaxFlo- VS - http://www.hayward-pool.com/pdf/literature/Max-Flo-VS-Sell-Sheet-LITMAXFLVS13.pdf So me trying to learn all of this, it...

Oh Wow... i never even thought to compare it like that but that is interesting isnt it? Thank you so much for point those figures out JL.

Can you let me know where you got this information? The Hayward spec sheet on the site is saying that its max hp is 1.5. Should i not trust that?

Dang. Back to the DrawingBoard i guess? Should I just go for the big Inteliflow? The lower the speed the more saving, right? So nothing is too efficient... its only a few more hundred dollars. ugh. THank you everyone for you help though, i would have made a grave mistake without coming here first.

OK, so we need a smiley of a fat guy beating a dead horse, becuase i would use that right now. Variable Speed Pumps - they dont really have a horsepower rating, becuase it all depends on what speed they are running. BUT i need to ensure whatever variable speed pump or two speed pump i get can...

i love the moderators. That is the first time i have ever said that. LOL. Back when the house was built in the 70's, (Phoneix, AZ) and they had to use charges to break up the rock that the pool sits in, there were two pumps, one for the skimmer and one for the "sweep". Since then, and before i...

So, going with a 2 speed pump - the appropriate way to operate with a vaccuum would be to have to on high speed while vaccuuming, then lower it to cycle the water. Is it okay to cycle the water through the vaccuum?

Thanks for replying! I have a hayward pro series high rate sand filter - model s244s - effective filtration area 3.14 sq feet, 20 GPM filteration rate, and 62 GPM Backwass design flowrate.... does this help me?:oops: maximum pressure is 50.

I need to replace my Hayward Super II pump. Motor went out, and everything from my setup is just old. In researching variable speed pumps, i am finding some really great options, and they come with great prices. Here is what i have, 30,000 gallon pool, with a sand filter. 2 inch lines all...
