    Default Need Opinions Fast, Hayward, Pentair, or Waterway

    more specifically the

    Power Flo Matrix Hayward 1.5hp
    Pentair Dynamo 1.5hp
    Waterway Hi Flo 2 speed 1.5 or 2 hp

    My current setup is 2 hp Hayward with 250 pound sand filter with a 30' ag 52" walls. Im leaning toward the Waterway for the two speed feature, anyone know anything about them?

    the two main concerns are reliability and noise is a concern.

    Thanks

    Seems like you are WAY overpumped. I think you should be looking at a 1 HP 2 speed (full rated). You also need to make sure you are comparing the pumps correctly, they all need to be either FULL rated or MAX rated or you need to do the conversion before comparing.

    You may be getting to much pump. there are several sites to determine what you need. Also...you mention the waterway for the 2 speed. You can also get the Pentair Dynamo in 2 speed. I just ordered one for myself.
