I will be looking for an energy efficient motor. I am not knowledgeable about the two speed motors. How do I know what speed to run the motor at and do I get the switch at the same place I would purchase the motor?

Thanks for your help on this!

Possible sources:

ST1202 - 1 speed energy efficient: a1poolparts / aqua-man / inyopools

STS1202R - 2 speed energy efficient: aqua-man / inyopools

Note: these are 230V only motors. Timer installation pretty much REQUIRES an electrician. You will DEFINITELY need to purchase the appropriate "Go-Kit" when you get the motor. There are electronic switches available, but one of the benefits of a 2 speed pump over a variable speed pump is greater reliability and MUCH less susceptibility to nearby lightning. Going with an electronic timer somewhat undoes this. If you get the connection 'whip', your electrician will need to add 1 additional wire.

Timer *or* Switch (from Amazon):

Intermatic T10604R Pool/Spa Control Center T106M and T104M
Southwire 55189301 3/4-Inch 6-Feet ULTRA Whip-Pre-Assembled with Wires and Connectors
Leviton 1282 15 Amp, 120/277 Volt, Toggle Double Throw @ Amazon

Thanks, Ben for the information on the motor and switch. I will get these ordered and call my electrician.

I really appreciate your help.
