I want to replace my bad 1.5hp Hayward Super II motor with a VGreen 1.65hp multispeed motor. My pool guy just told me that if set to a lower speed, some lose prime. Is this an issue with this motor? Is there a workaround?

Thank you.

It's possible that at the lowest speed it could lose prime. The workaround would be to test the VS motor at different speeds and find the minimum working RPM.
