All variable speed pumps are intended to be directly connected to power so that the built-in controller controls when and how it works. You can absolutely set the default speeds and when they get lowered/raised, though it does come ready out-of-the-box with energy-effecient programming that works for most people. Every time it starts at the high speed to ensure priming. If you call us at 866-766-5243 we can help walk you through any other questions.
