I have decided I need to replace my existing .75HP single speed Jandy pump. Historically I have run the pump 24/7. I enjoy the waterfall even when I'm not swimming and I figured running the water 24/7 keeps it circulating and improves filtration as well as keeping the water temp down during the summer. I may opt for running it dawn to midnight with the new one.
My question is should I insist on a variable speed pump with this new one? I had a PB come by and he said he would just replace the existing pump with a 1.5HP single speed pump( Sta Rite I think ). Right now I am having trouble getting sufficient water to my waterfall without compromising the amount I send to the pool wall returns. He says the new one will fix that.
Don't know if it impacts things but I'd like to add a SWG as well this spring. Any thoughts on best one for this size pool(35-40K)?
Lastly, I've never had any automation in my setup. Any value in adding something like an Easy Touch in my situation with no spa?
Thanks
