Not exactly typical plumbing but I suspect you might be familiar with the issue.

I've got good quality (when new) but decades old pump for pool.

I know these days they have variable speed pumps and I believe they have big rebates but not sure if that program still exists.

I might need to replace pump in near future (You got me thinking all the time about being both prepared and proactive) so I want to be prepared and do some shopping in advance.

Do I want one of the variable speed pumps or standard type pump, and which brand would be a good choice for a medium sized pool at home that is rarely used in recent years??

Thanks.

I needed several pumps, filters and heaters for various pools. With the pandemic and suppliers going belly up, they were over priced and hard to come-by. Ed's advice was spot on.

So I turned to a friend who makes and installs new pools or upgrades old ones. I asked me "please" for some used equipment. Known this guy for a dozen years and I help him out when he gets in over his head on a job. He turned out to be no help. Plumbers and pool companies stock old systems for parts and repairs. I even went to some Leslie's pool supply closed up and trying to sell stock. No discounts.

So in the end I had to go to a wholesale house and settle for a small contractor discount.

O.K., thanks.

I have heard of both Pentair and Hayward since when the filter was acting up, I started looking at possible replacement. However, it turned out that replacing only the grids inside the filter resulted in significant improvement. Filter works really well now.
