Re: New Pump and Plumbing question
With the spa, you will probably want the full size VS pump rather than some of the smaller/cheaper versions. So the Intelliflo VS 011018 is a good choice and can usually be found for under $900 if you are will to do the installation yourself. However, you will get a longer warranty with a professional installation. But with a VS, it is really important to get surge/lightning protection to protect the pump electronics so that will add cost to the pump. You have to run the numbers to see if it is worth it or not compared to a two speed. But IMHO, it seems silly to put a VS pump on a pool that has a cleaner booster because that will negate a lot of the cost savings of a VS pump. If you go with a VS, you might consider a cleaner that doesn't require a booster such as ThePoolCleaner.
But if you are handy at all, it is fairly easy to swap out a pump motor at a fraction of the cost of a VS pump with surge protection. No plumbing changes required either. So I would cost out both and then make the choice.
