Ordered the Optiflo 1HP Dual Speed 115V model. Got it for $220 shipped which is fine with me. Just waiting on a C1200 to hopefully score that for about $280 shipped.

Right now my install is all at ground level. Can it be raised up? The inlet of the pump say about 6" below the skimmer, pumping up to the filter at deck level, then back down to the jet? I'm just thinking ease of maintenance for the future, it would be nice to have it in a closet at deck level.
