Thanks for the reply.

The pool is a gunnite, kidney shape about 8 feet deep in the deep end. No spas or waterfalls - just the pool. It is powered by 240 volts on a double 20 amp breaker (which I will change to a GFI). I rented a pump and had a heck of a time getting the sludge out, but I finally got it empty and pressure washed and acid cleaned. It looks pretty good. I will do a pressure test on the plumbing.

Back to the pump and filter, Lowes and the Depot around here sell Flo-Tec and they seem expensive compared to what I find on the internet. I would like a two speed pump and I am leaning toward a Hayward. I had a fella quote $1100 to install a 1 hp single speed pump and an oversize cartridge filter. I would rather do it myself, though. Seems like it would be a good learning experience. Is Flo-Tec a reliable brand?

Thanks Again,
Russell
