    Default 2 speed pool motor suggestions?

    I'm looking to replace my current motor with a 2 speed motor after reading all the postings. I've reviewed many of the websites people have recommended, but can't decide on which one. It seems I should get a medium head motor, but they are hard to identify. Any recommendations given this setup?

    (I'm replacing the current DE filter with a new Hayward 6020 this week since my current one's base is cracked.)

    Either a medium or high head pump would probably work just fine in your pool. Pentair, Sta-rite and Hayward all have very good 2 speed pumps. I would pick any of them but you may want to match your current pump model if you can so you don't have to change the plumbing. Inlets and outlets can be in different positions which means a re-plumb.
