Filter too small & Pump too big??

[PoolDoc]

To reduce delivered HP / wattage consumed you need to swap out the impeller and diffuser, not the motor. A motor will draw current according to the load placed on it -- it's just that if you put a 2HP load on a 1HP motor, it will burn up. However, if you put a 1 HP load on a 2 HP motor, everything will be fine.

Okay, so that sounds even cheaper than chaning the motor. Do I just order the impeller & diffuser from the 1HP version of this pump? How do I know which impeller & diffuser to get?

Look at this page

But, call them, tell them what you have and tell them you want to step down 1 size from your current impeller & diffuser. Let THEM pick everything you need to make it work.

Thanks, I'll give them a buzz, order the parts and update the thread after the pump has been "downsized"
