Comment for this pump :
For over 12 years I serviced my own pool for the most part, but about 2 years ago my pump motor went out and I called a local company to come out and fix it, 4 visits, much stress and $315.00 later it worked and stopped leaking... until now. The "tech" over-tightened the body clamp and that's where it burst open releasing full pressure... luckily I was home so I could shut it off and prevent a possible disaster. The old unit was 1 horse and I thought it may have been underpowered because I have a solar heater on the roof so I took a chance and went up to 1 1/2 horse. I bought this pump because it said it was stainless steel ( I never did see evidence for that claim ) and because it was designed with union fittings for 1 1/2 inch or 2 inch PVC which really made it easy to install, which is extremely important because I'm basically a cripple. It works perfectly, the electrical hook ups were ready for 220 which is the way to go. This thing looks great and is quieter than the last one, so the verdict is : great deal on a great pump.
This was a replacement for a system that stolen from the house we purchased before we moved in.
Not having an idea of what was there previously, we selected this pump, mostly because of the reviews, but also because of the stainlees steel construction and the fact that it could run a total volume change of the pool in about 4 hours (10,000 gallons).
Pump came properly packaged as there was no damage or missing parts. Installation was a snap. Great instruction manual. RUNS VERY QUIET unless deadheaded or air gets into the suction line but it clears and quiets down quickly.
I would recommend getting the weather cover that goes over the motor. The motor has vents along the side and bottom that the elements can get into and these need to be covered if the units is mounted outside. This cover should be supplied with the unit, but isn't. My unit is wired for 220VAC and seems to run a little hot as I can smell the paint on the motor, but the units is new and we'll see if this continues.
Bottom line:
GREAT pump for the money
Professionally packaged
Great instruction manual
I would purchase this again.
