What the heck do you have a 2HP pump for? I have a 27000 gallon pool and it is overkill having a 1HP pump.
The "best" thing is to have separate pumps for the different functions. My pool cleaner, a Polaris 280, uses a 1/3rd HP dedicated pump. My main pump is now a 1HP unit, after change out from a 1/2 HP unit. My "Boost Pump" is 3/4 HP and obviously is never used. I have considered a VFD for my 1HP unit, so that I can run it as a low speed unit continously, and kick it up to high as a "Boost" unit while we're in the pool.
