I wish it was variable frequency; but I couldn't afford it.
Upgraded from 2.5 hp 110 volt setup (30 amps running) to 1 hp 220 setup (7 amps running).

Flows nearly as much; but will not make nearly the pressure my old one did (will have to backwash pump more frequently).

Edit: impeller on the old pump was warped and a new pump was only $45 more than just the impeller.
