So I've been on a Single Speed Jandy...and balancing the pool has been okay for the most part, but I had to not run the pump as much due to electric usage being crazy for the amount most people wanted to run it. I only run 4 hours a day....and before anyone says it : yes, algae has always been an issue....and I haven't been able to chlorinate much and it seems cost of chlorine increased over the years...and now there's a shortage?
In any case - I finally have $$ saved to replace the pump - and this time - I also want a SWG system (eyeing a CircuPOOL 35).
Does anyone know if the PENTAIR 011056 VARIABLE FLOW is needed over a VARIABLE SPEED 011028 ? Seems the only difference is variable flow. I read what that does, and it seems people say it's not entirely necessary. Most pool companies however are charging $1850 w/labor to get the 011028 installed... Leslies wants $2100 and they say there's $100 rewards and another $100 from pentair (mail in)....basically comes to 1917... It's a $120 difference. The leslies guy assured me the 011056 is the newest and claimed I would need to go through any warranty with Leslies...
I found it odd...not pentair? He told me I didn't even have to register with pentair (that was odd) because they're a pentair direct warranty rep?
Anyone know what the deal is?
SECOND ISSUE:
Also - SWG I'd be installing myself - if the pump is off and I cut the return pipe at the couplings (90degree ones) - would a lot of water leak out or only the bit in the section I cut?
Is the CircuPOOL 35 with the cord considered a "good" SWG system? I know some have panels but....figured I'd ask!
Thanks!
