Thanks for all of your input so far...I am ready to get this show on the road and bring the pool back to life.
Some of the pumps I have looked at seem to look like you use threaded pieces screw into them; others look like the pieces screw onto them (outside threads).
Any issues with which way things are attached?
I am looking at one HP, two speed Hayward right now but I am open to other suggestions. I look at the cost thing like I looked at it on my AC--they told me it would be a long time to recover the extra cost for a two stage system, but the comfort of it is much better for us...so it didn't matter. If the consensus is the two speed pump is better overall, even at an extra cost, I will go in that direction.
