Hi all,
I'm considering two options for a replacement pump this year.
I've currently got a 1HP Hayward Superpump, currently with no timer setup, just a simple on/off switch.
Option 1 - Pentair WhisperFlo 1/2 HP single speed
Option 2 - Hayward Superpump II - 2 speed (1.5HP / 0.25HP)
General questions.
I'm wondering if the WhisperFlow will have enough flow to keep the heater going.
For the water slide - with the SuperPump, I'm OK if the slide only works on the high speed setting, however It would need to also work with the WhisperFlow.
I'm wondering if the 2 speed may be more complicated then necessary for my setup.
Appreciate your thoughts and feedback - Thanks!
