In their defense, they are being pushed by governments, especially in California, to sell these complicated and finicky variable speed motors to reduce electric consumption. For myself, I prefer the simple toggle switched two speed motors. The low speed only draws 3 amps compared to the 10 amps at high speed. And they don't have that ridiculously expensive computer controller that gets fried all the time with lightning. With properly balanced water, I never run the pump on high for daily circulation. Keeps the electric bill WAY down. I use high speed to backwash, vacuum to waste, recirculate and so on. Which is not too often. I lube EVERY fastener on my pumps with anti-seize!

What a pain has Pentair become, all these for something that used to take 10m, this is crazy and unneccesary, also all new 3 version pumps with the extra time to programming thru the app, Im a Pool company in Naples florida, and I'll probably stop using pentair, they keep changing providers, contractors and a pool is supposed to be Simple, but they are making it to complex now.

and there are SO MANY equipment pads that there is not enough room at all for all these extra steps that have been added.
