    You need either a SPDT (single pole double throw) toggle switch on the motor end bell OR a timer and DPDT relay. Your problem is that most house electricians don't know how to work with timers and relays.

    So, here's your test question, "Can you install a DPDT (double pole double throw) time clock on my 2 speed pool pump?". Say "double pole . . . ", not just DPDT. Then, if they say, "Huh?", keep looking!

    Meanwhile, you might call Hayward and see if they have some custom gizmo control for 2 speed pumps.
