Thanks Mark for the info. I definitely want to more energy efficient, even if that means a little more cost upfront. I want to go with the Hayward cartridge filter with 425 ft filtering. A Hayward Tristar 1.5HP dual speed motor. An automatic chlorinator which is also a Hayward. And we are thinking a Polaris 280 vacuum with its own booster pump. Does this sound like a good way to go?

Thanks,
David and Katrina
