Pentair Superflo VS is a very popular pump here . Go with a VS pump and dont look back !
I just installed one and LOVE it . I also have a 25,000 gal in-ground.
They are great because they are an awesome VS (variable speed) pump to save you BIG $$$ on your electric bill. Seriously , this pump can save you so much $$$ in electricity it will pay for it self , and then some.
VERY easy to install ......it will work with either 120v or 220v automatically. Will work with 1.5" plumbing systems, or can be adapted to work with 2" if needed.
You can find them for about $600. (but seriously, the electricity saved will more than pay for the pump !)
Check them out .......
I switched to a Pentair Intelliflo VSF when my old pump died. In winter, it used to take about 350W, running at a low speed. Recently after new plastering, it has been running at 2200 rpm, and taking about 700W. The pump I used earlier was an old hayward Super II - not a variable-speed one and I believe it consumed about 1400-1600W.
(Savings as is: 5 or 6 KWh per day. $30 per month minimum savings, $480 per year - the pump will pay for itself, compared to the older one)
