Hayward Northstar pump install: Review

[mwsmith2]

Holy schmoley. I've been contemplating changing my pump. From what I can gather, it's a 1983 pump (original!) and is likewise a 2HP unit. I did some research on replacing mine, but maybe I should have looked harder. Pretty amazing that you can go from 2HP to 3/4HP and gain flow and pressure! With that kind of cost savings, the payback on the pump is pretty short. Seems like I may need to look in to this again. Thanks for the info!

Edit: Ok, I did some quickie research. Seems like my results will be spookily similar to yours. I too can get away with a 3/4HP unit and will save right at $40 a month! Payback on the pump is an astounding 8 months. Looks like I may be in the market for a new pump soon!
