Should you use a vf pump

[dalehileman]

Thanks once more mas, I had wondered whether those reports might not be exaggerated as I had questioned whether a vf pump run at low speed could efficiently clear flotsam, a very important consideration as I'm getting old and am horrified at the idea of performing this task manually every day. If I were to acquire a vf but find it necessary to run it at high speed for two hours a day I'd probably see almost no saving whatever since currently I run my 1 hp pump for only three hours with most satisfactory results. However I shall Fwd your post to an engineer friend who is much better than I at such judgments and who has most kindly offered his help

What I resent about the whole shebang is the almost universal assumption by the Establishment that the pool owner must not only be wealthy but must have an engineering degree with a minor in chemistry, but with many thanks for all your past and future participation
