Hi All, I have a 1.5hp ancient single speed Hayward pump that just will not die. However, it is very expensive to run (~$200 a month or so... even when only running around 12hrs a day). Therefore, I'm looking at 2-speed 1hp pumps to hopefully cut my costs some. I have a 24' AGP (round), which is around 13,500 gallons. I'm looking at a 2-speed Hayward SP15922S Power-Flo Matrix ($278 on Amazon). It looks like a good bit of folks on here run those, but I had a question about my setup.
Will this new pump work okay with my current Hayward S210T sand filter? I only have around 5' of pipe going to the pump and filter, and another 5' coming out. The piping is 2" all around, but of course it's 1.5" going in and coming out of the pump itself (the new one will be the same way). On Hayward's site they show the pump as 86GPM at 10-20' of head. My old sand filter has a rating of 80GPM with 2" pipe, so I don't think this will be an issue.
All of that being said, I'm 99% sure that this should all work, but before I spend almost $300 I wanted to get a sanity check or feedback on HP, model, etc.
Thanks,
