re: Pool Pump Question

I used a variable speed pump when I built my pool in 2007.
I can't tell you the savings, because I don't have one to compare it.
One thing to remember though, you have to have the rpm high enough to circulate water throughout your pool. If you have steps, decks, or other nooks, you need to have enough movement to stir that water also.
I have a Pentair. The control unit on it went out at about 1 year. I got Pentair to replace that part for free. It's been working well since.
Good luck.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcheers.gif)
