Currently I have a 1.5hp single speed Pentair Whisperflo pump. I live In Louisiana and our electric cost are on the lower side here. I may be able to get one or two more seasons out of this one, but soon I will have to get a new pump. I was thinking about replacing it with dual speed pump when it goes out. My current setup has the pump wired to an Intermatic timer (and my SWG is also wired to that same timer). My questions are:
1) Will I have to get someone out to redo the wiring to go to a dual speed pump? Wasn't sure if I could just wire it up the same way my single speed was wired to the motor.
2) How do I control which speed I want to use on the pump? Is there some type of manual switch on the pump itself for low or high flow? Or is this wired to some type of control panel that I will have to add and wire into my current setup?
Thanks!
