Re: Hello
Sounds good, I am looking at just the motor replacement. I can get a AOSmith replacement 1hp 2speed with impeller for under $300 but cant find a variable speed bolt on that will work. BTW thats supposed to be a in ground on my pool chart. Many thanks.

Re: Hello
On an 8,000 gallon pool, you'd be better off with a 2 speed pump. The variable speed pumps are all max HP motors, that can be turned down fairly efficiently. But, the 2 speed 1HP is going to as efficient, or more efficient than 2.5HP variable speed, turned way, way down . . . and it's going to be a heck of a lot cheaper and more reliable. Texas doesn't have the lightning Florida does, but putting electronics at the end of an power run outdoors is just asking for problems.

Re: Hello
Good point I've heard those vs control boards are expensive if you can get them. We can get zapped by lightning also. I'll get a 2speed. I think the skimmers will be ok with the lower flow at longer run times. Thanks again
