However there is two SIGNIFICANT advantages to this pump. It has a 4 year vs a one year warranty and it is much much less noisy. I have solar panels on the roof and when the pump starts it runs faster to get the water up there, but after that it slows down and continues to pump through the solar just fine. And this is truly a variable speed pump, vs dual speed.
Maybe they don't save energy, but my electric bill dropped.
And please explain how it can only be applicable to new pools if they no longer make the motors?

I'm looking at an internet site that offers the single speed pump I was referring to earlier. I would post a link but I think its against the totv rules. google "single speed pool pumps" and you can find quite a few.
As for your electric bill dropping, I'll stand by my statement that you are pumping less water so it should drop.
It is less noisy because it runs at a lower speed and pumps less water per hour than the high speed setting.
