I might be the guinea pig for the site and go with the 2EZ motor. I'll just need to make sure it's not old stock from the recall period. At sub $300 it will be a bargain if it works out, if not, I'll wish I invested in an AO Smith, or a new two speed Whisperflo, or Intelliflo pump. Time will tell I guess, I'll keep ya'll posted how it works out if I go that way. I'm a bit hesitant on the electronic controlled timer on the pump with all or our lightning here, but I put a surge protector in my pool panel. I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but I haven't lost any components of my SWG since it's been installed and I used to loose some part yearly before I installed the surge protector. I do like the timer on the EZ pump because it has freeze protection and we get 5 or so freezing night each winter in NE FLA and sometimes I forget to run out and turn the pump on overnight, or don't even know it's supposed to freeze. Not having the expense of buying another timer and time spent wiring it will also be a plus. Hopefully running that pump on low most of the time and adding the 340sq ft filter I picked up will help keep the water cleaner. I think the 2 hp motor I have now is blowing a lot of fine stuff through the 120 sq ft one I have.

Now I just need to figure out a good plumbing plan to clean up the octopus system that I have now when I put the filter on line.

Thanks for the input and any other advice.
