Mix & Match Hayward/Pentair

[waste]

Bthom, welcome to the wonderful world of posting

Can't help you with the cord but Al and Carl and some of the others are knowledgeable with electrical matters.

As for the new pump and filter #1 - you might want to look into the EC50 - a bigger filter never hurts and makes maintenance easier.
#2 To mate the pump to the filter 1 1/2" male adapters should work with a little pipe a 90 and a union (though a pool store or good plumbing supply store may have a specialty union that you could use) -- you may have to set the filter up on some cinderblocks or build a little shelf for it so you have the room to make the connections, either way, it shouldn't be a difficult bit of plumbing.

Good luck with the new pump and filter! Have a great swim season!!

I actually got a response back by email from Hayward after I sent them an email last week.
They responded that for the "SP15922s, the amp draw is 11 on high speed and 2.0 on low speed, voltage is also 115v."
So actually the Hayward 1hp is slightly more efficient at low speed @ 2.0 amps vice the 2.6 for the Pentiar Dynamo 3/4hp or 2.9 for the Pentair Dynamo 1hp

Decisions, decisions......
