I am taking the advice of Ben and others here and switching my pool pumps over to 2-speed motors. If for no other reason than Baltimore Gas & Electric in Maryland is leveling a 72% rate increase on electric this July.

At the same time I am thinking to convert my pool to salt chlorination and was looking at the aqualogic P-4 or Autopilot systems. The problem I have is: My setup has (2) Hayward 3/4 HP Superpumps feeding dual Hayward EC-65 DE filters. One pump works the deep end and the other the shallow end. Neither the Aqualogic P-4 or Autopilot lists the capability of running 2 pumps, let alone (2) 2-speed pumps. The aqualogic does I am told, by Goldline tech support, but you need to move up to the much expensive models (PS-8 and above). I don't have any water features or other planned uses. I just want to use the unit as a timer and speed selector for the motors and chlorinator controller and I feel it is a waste to go with the higher-end units if I can get by with the cheaper ones. Anyone know if it is possible hook both pumps up to either the aqualogic P-4 or autopilot? I don't care if I can't operate the pumps individually, due to the way the setup is I need to run both at the same time anyway.

P.S. I apologize ahead of time if this post is in the wrong place. I was torn between here and Pool Equipment & Operations.
