I was set on getting a Pentair whisperflo....mas985 feel that I have about 60 ft of head and the 1/2 hp whisperflo would give me about 55 GPM....(mas 985 thank you for all your expertise )
I have 1 1/2 inch pipes so GPM is an issue....
My question today is that many prefer the dual speed pumps because the can be run on a very low HP, flow rate and conserve energy and money....
Today I called Pentair/Sta Rite to ask about the Dura Glas pumps...........
The Dura Glas up rated 1/2 hp, according to Pentair, puts out 30 GPM at 60 ft. of head, and 35 GPM at 50 ft. of head....
The Dura Glas up rated 3/4 hp, according to Pentair, puts out 40 GPM at 60 ft. of head, and 50 GPM at 50 ft. of head...
It I got the 1/2 hp at 30 GPM at 60 ft of head, would it be efficient enough for my pool and would it not be similar to using a dual speed set on low...
Pool is 9,500 gal. 1 suction line and 2 return jet lines and 1 1/2 inch pipe...
Would that work and is Dura Glas a quality product ?
Thanks
Ken
