2 pumps in series used like a 2-speed pump
Hi All, Great Information that this site provides.
I am considering putting a 2nd pump in-line with my current pump. I currently have a 2hp pump that is purposely oversized because of Pop-Up heads on my pool floor. I want to put in a lower pump (1hp) in line with my current system and then would use some sort of switch box to determine which one of the pumps would be running. The reason for this is that I have solar panels and would like to run the smaller pump for longer hours to get the most sun bang for the buck. I talked with someone about this and they thought that the centrifugal impeller on the pump that was not running would severely restrict the flow to the pump that was. Any comments on this? Thanks all for your insights.
