Hi Ben and Mark,

Thank you so much for the prompt replies. They were both very helpful. After furter inspection my pump is a Hayward RS 1500 1.5HP or 2.0THP. After I had it replaced about 1.5yrs ago the power bill went up (1/4 to 1/3) immeadiately, leading me to believe that the pool guy installed to big of a pump. However, like I said before my old pump was a pentair and a 1.5hp. Having said all of that this pump from day one had a lot of turbulence at the pump basket until he diverted a lot of that flow away from the caretaker side of the T valve and instead moved more water through the 3 returns in the top of the pool. Weird, I never had this problem before he installed the new pump. I still wonder if its to big. Besides the one station with 6 heads...all the rest of the stations have 3 or 2 heads. Is there anyway I can get around this issues with the in-ground cleaning system being a power/PSI hog? I know eveyrbodys pool is different, but I was thinking maybe if I bought a new Hayward Ecostar I could run the pump at or close to top speed for a few hours(3-4) a day and then back it down to a much lower RPM for just circulating the water and chems through the filter. My pool is 2" plumbing with a Hayward pro series sand filter model # S244S.

Once again thanks for the advice.
