I am looking to replace my 1hp super pump. On suction side I have individual 2" lines from 2 skimmers that connect before pump. I have a Hayward 60 sq ft DE filter that the gauge reads 5psi when clean. On the discharge I have 2 separate 2" lines that lead to wall returns and a 2" to 1.5" that leads to bottom returns.
I am planning on installing a heat pump and SWCG and while I was at it wanted to replace pump.
I am hesitant to go with VS Intelliflo because of poor warranty for DIY installs and price. The people who have problems get little support from Pentair. The other VS with reasonable warranties seem to be made in China pumps with no long term reviews.
I was considering 1/2hp Whisperflo. Our season in NY is only 4 months so even if I did go with VS I feel break even for higher priced unit would be several years.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks you
