Need A New Pump

[beerwoman]

We currently have the hayward s-200 3/4 . We are definately planning on getting the same brand and model but are considering going up to a 1. our pool is 16X32. is it necessary or is the 3/4 good enough. Also is it going to be a plumbing job that we can't do ourselves.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Also we will replace sand in the filter this year. I this a big deal. Any precautions or advice would be helpful.

We have owned the pool for 4 years but have only had to deal with chemicals until now.

Thanks ahead for any help!!

Regarding replacing your filter pump: consider a variable speed pump which permits you to run it longer each day but at a much, much lower speed. This can save you 60-70% of your filtering costs. Do not move up to a larger pump. It is far cheaper to only use the high speed when absolutely necessary, such as permit operating your cleaner, then turn it down (automatically via a controller). Even a 2 speed pump is better. Utility companies encourage this and in fact require a variable speed pump or 2 speed pump by 2008 in California and give us $300 rebates. Save alot of electricity, month after month - it adds up!

Replacing the sand is fairly easy, just make sure you do not damage the internal laterals. I like to use a large soup ladel to get the bulk of the sand out, it is a little time consuming but works really well, you could choose to refill the filter with Micromatic media instead of sand, this will reduce backwashing and give you finer filtration.

It does help filtration and backwashing, however the filters get jamed up using that stuff. But there is always a tradeoff

A typical pool pump (1.5 HP A/C) uses 2000 watts. If the pump is run 8 hours a day, that is a total of 480kWh per month! A 3000 watt grid-tie system on a home in Arizona will produce the same amount of electricity, but a pool pumping kit is a MUCH more economical solution. At 4 hours a day, the typical pump uses 240kWh per month, as much as a 1500 watt grid-tie system produces. With this load permanently removed from your home, the savings add up quickly! for more cleaning. RH302 braindumps The DC pool pump is more efficient than the standard AC pool pump already attached to a power grid tied pool pump. A 3/4 HP DC pump is generally capable of replacing a 1 to 1.5 HP AC motor.

* Summertime swimming season requires more pumping, and naturally, with more hours of sunlight, your pool pump puts in the work needed to keep your pool clean.

* ETA designs the system for optimal efficiency through the choice of the pump and motor combination combined with the photovoltaic array. We assemble many sizes of pool pumps, and offer several brands and sizes or solar panels and solar modules. Pumping systems are available from 1/2 HP to 1 HP. JN0-521 braindumps * The EMPT (Electronic Maximum Power Point Tracking) controller works like an automatic transmission, and maintains maximum output from your solar panels (modules).

* If you still need more pumping power, or need to run your pump at night, simply turn on the pump already installed on your pool for an extra boost. 642-972 braindumps * Optional tracker mounting positions your solar panels (modules) so they follow the sun and are always absorbing the maximum amount of solar energy available.
