I have an old Hayward 1.5 hp pump and the motor is making loud noises. Shaft is spinning, and I've replaced the impeller previously. I've got flex PVC piping that has small leaks in a couple of places, and the hard piping is all assembled so there's no room to cut it and add a coupler when changing parts.
So since I've obviously got some work to do, do the new fancy variable speed pumps really save on electricity? The Hayward website says 80% savings over a single speed 1.5 hp pump. Is that true?
Pool is odd shaped but somewhere between 15k - 20k gallons. I didn't build it, just inherited it. I've nursed things on long enough. It's time to upgrade if it's worth upgrading.
