Replacing Pump & Filter and thinking of adding a timer (also, single vs dual speed)
Pump motor died at the end of last season. Sand filter also has pressure cracks in the housing (in the 'egg' shaped part) that seep when pump is running. The filter has been leaking since we bought the house 5 years ago but figure it's probably a good idea to just replace everything.
POOL: Inground 22,000 gallon paisley shaped with 1 skimmer, 1 drain and 4 returns. Pool is approximately 40ft from pump.
CURRENT PUMP: Hayward Super Pump (Model C48L2N134B1)
Was thinking of just replacing with same equipment that is there now (as it ran the pool with no problems concerning water flow and filtration).
Would like to add a timer to run the pool at night and cut off in morning.
Will probably add a chlorinator a bit down the road as well.
Was looking at Intertmatic timers, but there are so many I'm not sure which to choose.
Thanks for any help/advice.
