Considering circupool vs pump & swg seems to be reasonable price & warranty. I understand correctly higher hp will push more water. My current pump on low speed which is around 1750rpm doesn’t circulate water very well & heat pump shuts down sometimes depends how.So any advantage or disadvantage to use a higher hp on a vs motor. Any input would be appreciated.
 
The primary advantage of a VS over a two speed is the variable speeds. You can choose any speed or flow rate you want or need.

The reason to go with a larger VS over a smaller VS is two fold. For a given flow rate, the larger VS is going to be quieter than the smaller VS. Also the smaller VS will be more prone to impeller clogs than a larger VS (due to larger VS impeller vanes).
