    I have a Hayward 1hp SuperPump 2 speed. I'm not sure of the numbers, but the results are similar. At half the flow it runs twice as long, but that "twice as long" costs half as much.

    Plus, sand filters filter MUCH better when they are running well under capacity. So at low speed your filter will work better (if it's sand-and mine is.).
