Raypak VS Pump

[needsajet]

Has anyone had any experience with one of these? Seems like an attractive price.

Raypak Pump: Raypak Variable Speed Pool Pump 1.65 THP - PS165VSP - INYOPools.com

Here's the manual: http://cdn.globalimageserver.com/fetchDocument.aspx?id=199fa381-0c94-4720-a864-b2827cb89265

It's made by Speck for Raypak. It uses the Century V Green 165 variable speed motor.

That's a good price. Maybe worth trying.

Also, check for available rebates from your utility or government.

It has a very basic 24 hour timer. No clock. So you turn it on and the 24 hour clock starts. You can run it on a high speed for x hours, then a lower speed for x hours and then off for the rest of the 24 hours. If the power goes out or the time clock turns it off the new 24 hours cycle restarts when the power is turned on or the time clock turns on again. Can't program 1200 rpm at 8a and 2000 rpm at noon and back to 1200 at 2p and then have solar override to 2200 rpm and return to 1200 rpm when solar is off and then the pump stops at 9p.

Isn't that the same way the Pentair SuperFlo VS pumps work? Each time they come on, they run a pre scheduled program.

No, the Pentair Superflo VS pump has a real programmable time clock.

No clock sounds like a PITA! Thanks for the heads-up!

That should be no problem. Simply use you old mechanical timer to power cycle the pump at midnight (off at 11:45pm and on at 12:00am)

My pool company is trying to sell me this one, or something very similar. The link above says, "no longer available".
