Hi there,
I'm looking for recommendations on a corded pool pump. It's really difficult to tell which pumps come with a power cord.
Id like a power cord to save $. There's a 120V recepticle by the pool hooked up to a timer. I don't want to go the hardwire route if I can avoid it.
Pool is 25000 gallons. One skimmer, two return lines. No additional features. 1.5" piping.
I've never opened it and the pump that came with the house is really old.
Any recommendations? Something available in Canada - ie via Pool Supplies Canada

You mentioned "Id like a power cord to save $. " , but I think there may be a misunderstanding there. Whether the pump is hardwired or plugged-in with a cord, the motor itself is what drives the energy consumption. More specifically, whether it's a single speed or 2-speed motor. So what you probably need to do is find a supplier in your area, or that you can order online, that provides a 120V 2-speed motor that you can keep on low most of the time. That's exactly how my pump is set-up. There are variable speed pumps on the market for pools that can take advantage of those features, but I'm not sure if that would apply to your pool. Update your signature for us and it may result in more details.
