I hope this isn't a hijack but here is my question.
i have a 1 hp superpump that runs 10 hours a day, it's basically on at the same time that my Hayward solar controller opens the valve to my 350 sq ft of panels.
My question is this, will converting to a vs pump save me money and or will the speed need to be bumped up so much that the gain on lower speeds is basically nil? My pressure on filter is 17 psi when panels are off and goes to 22 when the controller opens the valve. Can my solar controller also control my pump speed? My rate is only around 10 cents per kw I believe.
