Hello Everyone,
I have a couple of questions about variable speed pumps:
1) If DOE has banned non-vs/capacitor start pumps, why is Amazon still full of them?
2) My real question. I run my little 1/3 HP pump about 7 hours a day and my water stays very clean but I want to install a rooftop solar heater so I know that I will need to increase my pump size. If I need a 1 HP pump to run at full speed for about 8-10 hours per day to heat the pool and that is enough to keep the pool clean, doesn't it make more sense to get a single speed pump and run it only when needed? What am I missing?
Thanks.....Dennis
