If you have the surge protector on the main house panel do you also need them for the pool pad and HVAC equipment? Getting ready to have some electrical upgrades to a house with pool that needs work.You will connect the VS pump directly to power or connect it the same exact way and leave it on 24/7..
3hp is not to big, you can move more water at a lower RPM and save even more money.. You RPM should be between 800 to 1500 rpm for almost everything...
If I may recommend, please get the pump one or all of the following surge protectors as VS pump HATE lighting or power spikes and will die a horrible death if nothing is on them...

There is no predicting where a surge will enter your house electrical system and which way it will travel. Having a surge protector on your pool equipment subpanel can catch surges that came in through paths other then your main electrical feed.
For example from a lightning strike near your house getting a surge into outdoor wiring.
