I have a 1HP P6EeE-206L Sta-Rite Max-E-Pro pump that I think is oversized for my pool. The pool is approximately 10,000 gallons. What would be the best options for a replacement pump to save $$ on electricity and keep the pool circulating? It shows a max Amps of 8 at 230v. I would think I could go to a 1/2 hp pump, but would have to change the impeller or go with a 1 hp variable speed pump. I'm a very good DIY person. What would you recommend for the best return on investment $$?
Thanks,
Tom
