Hey all, I'm looking to upgrade to a VS pump. Setup in my signature. Current pump is this ancient Century USQ1102, single speed 1hp, hooked up to 240v.
Plumbing is 2 inches but my cartridge filter is only 90sf. I don't want to upgrade that if possible, but y'all let me know if a bigger filter is a must.

We use the pool only a few times a year so my budget is $2000. Any other pump that fits the bill?

Pinch a penny quote
  • Jandy VS Flopro 1.65hp $1375
  • Install $125
Local pool guy quote
  • Source my own pump, he recommends the usual Pentair/Jandy/Hayward
  • He'll install for $250
Leslie's quote
  • Pentair Superflo VST $1500
  • Jacuzzi VS 1.65hp $975
  • Install $350

Waterway defender VSP, Calimar VSP are other options that are less expensive.
You might also consider just getting a two speed pump and running it on low speed. That would save you money on the pump and the electricity cost reduction you are looking for.

On the filter side. Cartridge: Limit flow to 0.375 GPM per square foot of surface area, or about 34GPM.

You think about just changing the motor and keeping your pump? I'm going to upgrade to a V.S motor and just hook it up to my pump.
