Thx everyone. Waste I did get your message before heading out. Thx for the advice!
Sorry CarlD...Headed to the store before getting your message unfortunately so I hadn't even considered a dual speed or even any other pump. Just bought the same one as I had before. It's the Hayward Super Pump 1.5 HP. Before I open it, are you thinking I should return it and get something else instead? Paid $297 with tax. I had just assumed it was a decent pump since I had read about so many people owning them. I obviously prefer not returning it but if you think I made a mistake here, then I would.
