How many hours per day should I run my pump?
 Reply

A  Answered on 10/8/2013 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

There are many factors to consider; bather load, gallons of water, pump horsepower, type and size of filter just to name a few. A good guideline is 8-10 hours a day. On the cooler days and early and late season, you can cut the run time down to 4-6 hours because there is usually less swimmers and cooler water requires less chemicals. In peak season, when it is the hottest, raising the run time to 10-12 hours per day will help to keep the pool clean and circulating during it’s time of heaviest use.

I have an A.O. Smith K48N2PA105C4, would this be a good replacement? Pool guys have told me the HP is overkill for my pool. Also, is the warranty 2 years for DIY? Thanks

Hi Chad, Yes this pump would be a great replacement for your K48N2PA105C4 you will save a ton your operational costs by going to a variable speed pump, normally 50% - 70% savings or a single speed. We wrote this article on the Savings of a Variable Speed Pump Vs. Single Speed Pump which you may find helpful. Yes, the 2-year warranty applies to DIY installations.

will this variable speed pump, or any others line up the same for the input and output 2 inch water connectors like a Hayward sp3400vsp

Hello Mitchell, currently any of the pumps we carry will not match the unions of the Hayward Ecostar. The waterway does come with swivel unions and risers to make the install pretty easy.

Is this pump able to be installed to a Pentair EasyTouch PL4 Control Panel. If so do I need to order any special cable for communication to the control board?
 Reply

Hello Craig.  According to the manufacturer the Waterway Power Defender 270 Variable Speed Pump model PD-VSC270 will communicate with the Pentair EasyTouch model PL4.  The V-Green Automation Adapter Kit (Gray) 2517501-001 (2517501-002 is Black) is required.  Unfortunately, the Adapter Kit is not currently in stock.   V-Green Automation Adapter Kit - 2517501-001

I have a Pentair Whisperflo filter pump that appears to be failing. Will this pump fittings line up with the current installation?

Hello Jesse.  The Waterway Power Defender 270 Variable Speed Pool Pump has several base configurations which provide alignment to the plumbing configuration of the Pentair Whisperflo.  The Waterway Power Defender Pool Pump also comes with inlet and discharge swivel unions which facilitate plumbing installation.
