Like the Led Zeppelin song. After viewing my electric bill for the past few months, have been going round and round with the PB as to why they didn't install a variable speed pump instead of the Jandy Stealth single speed pump (1.5 HP with 1.1 SF). Finally got to talk to someone who knows something and he stated that my TDH is about 78 and is recommending I go to the Jandy VSFPH270JEP pump.
Why would I have to go from a 1.65 HP pump to a 2.7 HP variable speed pump and tha TDH just seems completely nuts. Pool is kidney shaped 32x16 and is roughly 25 feet from pump. Two skimmers on each end, two main drains three return lines and two bubblers with a 300 sq ft cartridge filter. That's it, no waterfall, no bells nor whistles.
I just can't wrap my head around the need to increase the HP nor can I wrap my head around the quote of $2k to purchase and install it.
