I think the pool pump manufacturers hate this. It costs them money. Pools are expensive. They already are being forced to sell variable speed pumps by Federal regulations. A 3HP pump variable speed now goes for about $1750. Our pool and spa use three of these on a various times. Ouch. that's a lot of moola. Plus pumps last a long time so its not going to be any windfall for them. And more things to go wrong and need service by the highly educated army of "pool professionals" out in the field every day.Do you not think that those that voted for this didn’t get sort some of compensation from the equipment manufacturer that makes this miraculous pool pump controller? Do you really think that they are in if for position’s salary.
