I'm in Spain and this pump just died and I need to replace it quick as my PH has drifted over 8 and I need to get some acid in pronto.
I'm new to pumps but I've just read here that variable speed pumps are the way to go and that bumping up to 1.5hp from 1.0 hp would be a wise move.
I have a 3 phase supply and have seen Pentair Intelliflo mentioned as the 'gold star'. Putting that into google brings up pumps between €1800 and €2100, I can't stretch to that. What would be a good budget variable speed for 2" pipes?
I've done some plumbing and simple swap over electrics but if it needs new power to be supplied I'll have to call an electrician.
I don't have a SWCG or heater or anything, just jugs of bleach and a hand held vacuum cleaner.
Any pump recommendations come to mind?
Many thanks for any suggestions.
