OK. I believe I'm ready, after many years, to upgrade to a SWG. I'm looking at the Circupool RJ45 ($1 upgrade from RJ30). My current pump is a 1HP Hayward that I run about 10 hours per day off a timer in the basement on a 230 circuit. My pump and filter are located away from the house some 45 or 50 feet. The attached pics will provide more info.
The Hayward pump has always been very noisy for my liking. I really like the idea of a VS pump. I am wondering about the wiring of the resulting system, however. It seems to me that the single feed to the current pump could be split to accommodate a SWG as they are all initially set to 230 operation and would serve as the timer for both the pump and SWG. In this case, I'd have to balance the time the circuit is hot to the SWG output and the requirements for filtration.
How would I control the two devices seperately with a VS pump? Is there a timer build into the pump itself? The wiring is underground (and under concrete) do I think I'll have to try to work with what I have there if it is of sufficient capacity to run both.
Unfortunately, I am probably looking at a liner this year as well, although I probably would be fine for a year or two (fading from over shocking, etc). I'd obviously be getting fresh water in this instance.
With all the COVID-19 issues, the governor has shut things down here in PA for non-life sustaining businesses. Not sure if I can get anyone out to look at the liner anyway.
So.... I'm sitting here with all this time on my hands remaining socially distant, and running this over and over in my mind.
Any helpful suggestions/comments/advice would be very much welcome.
