Has anyone succesfully used an external pump speed controller with an Intex sand filter pump? How did you do it? Does it require bypassing the control circuit? I have an extra pump laying around and would be happy to experiment with it to save some extra bucks on power consumption.

Can you link to a external pump speed controller that is not integrated with the motor?
I thought it should be doable by using some kind of phase/frequency modulation? But my pump has a built-in timer circuit that I would have to bypass somehow.
