Pump died, again (replaced the motor in 2018), so this time going to replace the whole pump instead of just the motor, as 2018 was the 2nd motor I've replaced on this pump.
With new regulations coming in July, glad to still have options now.
Options:
Variable Speed - pricey, and with my low electric costs, looking at 5 years to pay off the difference in price of single speed based on the manufacturer calculators, longer based on other calculators
2 Speed - I don't know much about these, should I consider one? if so, any model suggestions?
single speed - go with what I know? model suggestions?
Guy at the pool store said 1.5hp would cut it and I wouldn't notice the difference in the spa jets. Not so sure I believe him as he was pushing variable speed and said it would pay back in 2 years.
Live in Tampa, FL, where electric is $0.1191 kWh
Swim from April to Oct ish. sometimes throw the heater on earlier/later for weekends. Run pump for 3 hours in winter months.
Current set up:
9,753 Gallon pool
600 gallon spill over spa with 6 jets
2" plumbing
Jandy PlusHP, single speed 2HP pump
Nature2 Fusion Soft FSOFT1400 SWG
Jandy Cartridge filter CS200
Jandy Heatpump EE2500T
Pictures attached
Looking for recommendations. Leaning towards 2 speed if I can find one that works with this setup.
Thanks in advance!
Tom
