I currenly have a Jandy Pro Series Stealth pool pump and had been reading about Variable speed pumps.
This pump is about 5 years old. Is it worth upgrading to a Variable speed pump?
If yes, any suggestions on what brand/model to purchase and what hp? Pool is about 27,000 gallons + Spa and a 400,000 BTU heater. My guess is 3hp. Also how do you determine what settings to conigure on the pump speed/timing for it to optimize it?
I feel like my jets aren't powerful enough as I tried connecting a Polaris 360 to one of the jets and it didn't have enough oomph to get the right number of wheel turns per minute. I purchased restrictors for my jets and that helped a bit but still not enough to get the right number of wheel turns.
It looks like a fairly simply DIY to unscrew the current plumbing and electrical from the pump and just screw in the new one or am I mistaken?
Thanks!
