Hello, I am considering the package deal for the variable speed pump and chlorinator. I currently have a Hayward Superpump II, 1HP single speed pump. We have a solar pool heater with a Hayward/Goldline 35 controller. Is there a way or an output on the pump that would trigger the solar controller only at higher pump speeds? Or is there a way for the solar controller to trigger the pump to go faster? I suspect I need to purchase a new controller as well. Is there a controller you'd recommend? It moves a Jandy valve to turn the solar on and off based on pool and solar temps.Thanks! Classic Combo (Medium Pools) - (RJ-30 PLUS Salt System + SmartFlo® VS Pump - 1.7 THP) Packages

The type of control you are describing is likely going to be achieved by a third-party controller or automation system (EasyTouch, Omnilogic, Aqualink), or potentially a simple controllable valve that is set to direct flow to the solar system during the same times you set the high speeds on the pump. If you use an automation system, the SmartFlo pump in can communicate with it using its interface adapter: https://www.discountsaltpool.com/Circ....
