I can relate to the excitement! We just put up our Sharkline Heritage 27' round last month and am still excited about it. We have the same pump and filter as you and like it, however check your package to make sure they sent the correct instruction manual. Our package (manufacturer's fault, not PSW) had the wrong instructions which caused us to go a week with water in the pool and no pump/filter running. The pump is very quiet on low speed; we only use high speed when running the cleaner. Just got our first electric bill with the pool up and running and the increase was minimal. Happy about that! We also bought from Pool Supply World.
