I think the Intelliflow sounds great and I think it is likely very energy efficient, but I don't quite trust their calculator. It seems to give some odd results to me -- but what do I know.

I'm not sure why Hobert went from Hayward to Jandy. I think a lot of customers like the PDA so I wonder if that was part of it. Hayward announced their version of a wireless / waterproof controller about a month ago (and Hayward was off my list until then). My salesman said the change to Pentair was driven by the potential energy savings of the Intelliflo. Although I don't think that is going to be the base pump they are going to offer, maybe they saw having that option as a potential differentiating factor. I'm sure the equipment manufacturers also try and get each other's clients so it might all be incentives / financial too.

I read your post in the other thread Beary -- sounds like we are experiencing the same storm system. I have drawings but keeping them handy to pull out and show people makes a lot of sense. As Hobert uses mostly their own people and doesn't subcontract very much of the work, you would hope that would help, but I'm not relying on it.
