Need New Pump

[scarob63]

I currently have a ~14,000 gal pool. Distance from main drain to pump is 50ft and rise from water level to pump is roughly 2 feet.

Main 2"
Skimmer 1.5"
Vacuum 1.5"
all Return lines 1.5"
Current pump 1.5HP Full rated

I am looking for recommendations on new single or 2 speed pumps and HP ratings required.

Thanks

I suggest a 1 hp full rated 2-speed of your favorite flavor.

Why do you suggest a 2 speed versus a variable speed pump?

Corrections

Distance to pump is 65 ft
4 returns ports to pool

Here's the biggest reason. Unless your electric rate is above about 25 cents per kwh a variable speed has too long a payback to usually be considered.

Thanks. Makes sense to me
