OK, more info: 1)The pool has attached spa, with waterfall, hence the size.
2) The pump is actually 1.5/0.25 hp SF 1.3.
3) I installed this pump as a replacement of a single speed pump 5-6 years ago for energy efficiency reasons.
4) The pump and booster are controlled by an Intermatic PE100 series Digital Pool Timer
5) I took pump and motor to local pool store (Nathan's in Sacramento, Ca...very reliable and trustable) and he said pump needs rebuild and motor bearings are gone, total cost would be almost as much as a new unit.
6) We generally set it so the pump pulls from the skimmer and returns to both pool and spa, to get circulation and waterfall. I'm investigating VS pump because they qualify for energy efficiency financing in Placer county, along with some other work I'm having done.
