OK, I'm still working on this issue and cleaning up the pool. I'll be posting a question on Cl levels in the Chemistry area. For now I have a question on various 2 sp motors. I found some on line that seem reasonably priced and have a digital controller mounted on the motors. I'm curious if anyone is familiar with these. They seem priced better than many 2 speed motors I've seen. Depending on what I decide on changing my set up I"d either get the 2hp or 1hp unit. http://www.americanbestpoolsupply.co...t/961/1089.htm

Concerning my system my two thoughts at this point are:

As Ben suggested eliminate the floor system and heat pump and go with a 1 hp 2sp pump +/- larger filter. I"d need an idea of how to replumb this set up more efficiently concerning the valve problems noted and the SWG entering the skimmer base. Also how to go about deactivating the floor returns on the cleaning system. I'm assuming that all of them would then work passively rather than being zoned and water gear controlled.

The other scenario would be to keep the floor system and eliminate the heater with the idea that maybe another one would be plumbed in for the spa at a future time. Then I'd go with a 2 hp 2sp motor. A larger filter and suggestions on cleaning up the plumbing mess I have going on.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated let me know if you need more info to help. Also if you can point me into how to figure out the energy cost savings for either system vs what's going on now.

Thanks, Kevin
