Intelliflo or 4x160 pump replacement

Since you live in SoCal, you might also want to consider an Ikeric (which I have). It is very similar to the 4x160 in that it has 4 user settable/selectable speeds. Go to Ikeric.com (not associated in any way, just satisfied). What is cool about that is you not only get 4 speeds, but you can set each of them. With a proper contol setup, you can tailor the pump speed for spa, solar, pool goodies (like waterfalls etc) EXACTLY the way you want.

In SoCal, you should get a MAJOR credit/rebate from the electric company for converting over, the Ikeric website has some info.

All of these pumps are actually 3-phase, 220v. They include some type of converter, either in a box separate from the pump (Ikeric), or integrated (I think it is that way with the Intelipump) so you just run a normal 220v single phase line into the pump or controller box and it gets converted to 3-phase. Your timer sits in front of the controller box/pump just like in a normal setup.

One caveat, if you have a 220v GFI breaker, you will need to swap that out for a normal 220v breaker as the 3-phase conversion will ALWAYS trip the GFI.
