Hi,
Until Ben completes your registration, this is the only forum you can post question in--but once he completes it, he'll move your post to the equipment section where it belongs.

Re: Hello
What I have is a 2hp Hayward Northstar pump that will need a new motor. It seems oversized and is a energy hog. I can't find a variable speed motor that will work as a replacement but would like to get a 2 speed. I will probably keep my single speed timer and use a toggle switch for high when needed. Is there anything else I need to consider like flow to skimmers or priming on startup? just looking for advice or ideas, thanks.

Re: Hello
Note the correction in your gallons!
A 2 HP pump is way, way too big for your pool. You probably want something like this:

You want the 1HP pump, and you'll want to leave it on low most of the time.
