A POOL PUMP THAT WORKS WELL - ONGA SUPERFLO VS 800 for $842
My old pool pump gave up the ghost so I had to get a replacement. Research on Product Review and elsewhere led me to go for a new type, the variable speed ones because of their energy saving in contrast to much cheaper single speed pumps – the type my old one was. I whittled it down to two brands, Onga and another both of similar price. In my research I saw pool pumps were generally replaced in 12-15 years. Mine was 30 years old when it stopped. As it was an Onga that lasted for 30 years and as the new VS appeared to be more simple to control t...

On price comparison I found Pool-n-Spa Warehouse was the cheapest at $842.93 after a discount of $26.07 with free post on their Ebay advertisement. PROS: Variable speeds to save energy at slower speeds: high 2850 revs, medium 2400 revs, low 1650 revs. The high setting can be slowed down in 50 rev increments and low can be slowed down to 1000 revs manually by pressing the buttons to adjust the speed – hence it is really more than just 3 speeds. Energy saving at slower speeds: on high 2850 revs it runs at 800W* approx, medium 2400 runs at 500W* approx, low 1450 runs at 130W* approx. and when set to 1000 it runs at 50W* approx. (*calculated from my Fronius Solar Web data). Runs quietly and extremely quiet on lowest speed. Reasonably straight forward to install. Weather resistant materials that won’t rust (unlike my old Onga).
