Everything I have read here says got with a 2-speed pump. I have told everyone quoting to quote a 2-speed pump and for all of them it was not standard. They have all said they would do it. The builder I will probably go with, the one I seem to trust the most, tells me the 2-speed would not be a good idea. He said that his Jandy rep. recomends against going with a 2-speed for a pool/spa combination (I thought that was the whole reason for going with it in the first place). He tells me the Jandy rep. says that the spa would not get the required circulation on low speed (I don't remember why he said this was so). The spa is 8' dia., raised 12". He says the Jandy rep claims to have had to replace quite a few 2-speed setups due to this reason. He says he will install the 2-speed if I want it for aprox. 500.00 additional (seems high for the same pump with a different motor). His reasoning doesn't seem right to me, but I don't see why he would recommend against it if he did not believe it to be true. I'm sure his electricians have wired 2-speed pumps to a Aqualink system before.

Also, he is quoting the Jandy Aqualink RS system and says the wireless is cheaper than the wired model. Is this true? Does anyone have any comments on the Aqualink system, particularly the PDA handheld?
