I was wondering why a person couldn't buy and install a motor controller to dial in the rpm and subsequently GPM flow for their pump motor, in effect making a multi speed pump capable of manually matching what the intelli flow style pumps do, for a greatly reduced cost?
Talking to my union electrician brother last night, as long as the motor was compatible, he didn't see why it wouldn't work.
I can get a 2 speed 3/4 hp whisperflow for about $430, or a 1 speed 3/4 hp eliminator (both identical flow and electrical use rated) for $230 and a controller for about $60, giving me a dial in flow pump for about $290, or a savings of $140 with more control?
