I wanted to upgrade my existing pool pump motor from a single speed to a variable speed. I did some research and I believe the ECM16CU is an option that will work. When I chatted online, the rep said I may also need to replace the impeller. Can you confirm the ECM16CU will work in my pump and what other accessories I’ll need (such as the Super II tuneup kit?).
I also have a wifi/timer switch that turns the pump on and off, will this no longer be compatible with the new pump?
