It is supplied under part number 5-SILENPLUS 2 in a black housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow variable speed changes the day\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single speed pump has one setting: full. Every hour of filtering costs the same, and the pad is loud the whole time. A variable speed pump turns most of that time into low speed running, where water still turns over but the motor works far less and the noise drops away. The higher speeds are there when you actually need them, for vacuuming, for backwashing the filter and for driving a water feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck these before you order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo details decide whether this pump drops into your pad without extra work. The first is the supply: this is a 230 volt pump, so a 115 volt circuit will need attention from an electrician. The second is the plumbing: the connections are 2 in., so pads built in 1-1\/2 in. pipe will need adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ESPA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48646206783700,"sku":"PSU-185819","price":970.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_44b967e2-52eb-4795-a3cd-89643a6a279e.jpg?v=1788983087","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/espa-silenplus-variable-speed-swimming-pool-pump-5-silenplus-2","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
