I am needing to replace Pentair challenger 1 hp single speed- no timer installed originally, last year I manually shut it off half the day to save electric cost. Tthe Pentair pump was using a lot of electricity to run 24/7. I am reading that the dual speed are more energy efficient when running on lower speed. Local person I found that is trustworthy recommended Hayward superflo. He will install it for me, but will not add a timer. I would like to go with a dual speed pump and was wondering if I get the Hayward superflo dual speed that says it has a switch on the unit - does that switch allow me to manually change the speed when I need to. SP2610X152S is the model number of the one I am considering. Does anyone know if I buy this pump- is that all I need or do I still have to find an electrician to add another controller, timer or anything else? ( old pump is wired directly to a circuit breaker- no timer, no controller- just wired to circuit breaker)
I do not need a timer if this pump has a switch attached to the motor to switch it to low speed manually. I have no heater, no automatic vacuum, no fountains or any extra frills on the pool.
I would appreciate some help in understanding the installation of this dual speed pump: Hayward SP2610X152S .
