Guest Jason Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I am not sure what advantages 2 speed pumps have and what applications they are used for? I was told to use a 2 speed for my Jandy CL 580 filtration pump which I will also eventually be running a 2 story roof top solar with as well. Help?

Jason, The biggest advantage to having a 2 speed pump is that when you are tring to acheive good filtration the slower that you move the water through your filter the better the filter will work. The one challenge that you run into is when you are running the pump on low speed it will over work trying to supply your solar system. My advice, only run the pump on low speed at night when the solar system is off (bypassed). Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
