Noisy and leaky pump
By Martin
BEWARE!! Pentair does not warranty labor on this pump, parts only. Amazon and Pool Supply Warehouse are trying to help me.I received the pump 7 days after ordering it. That was pretty good considering I ordered it on Dec. 16, 2011 at the height of the Christmas mail blitz. It was installed on Dec. 23, 2011 ( I live in Florida) IT LEAKS( not from the plumbing).Pentair has put me in touch with a local pool company but it turns out the factory warranty only covers parts. The Pentair affiliate wants to charge me $125.00 for labor to replace the seals that were defective from the factory. Change the review to no stars. Bummer.The installation was tricky because the plumbing was not compatible with the Hayward I was replacing. Not a big deal though. The big deal is that the pump is NOISY, far from "whisper quiet"and a drip developed. . Upon checking to see if the noise was from improper seating on the slab I noticed a water leak from underneath the motor. I checked all the pipes and all the fittings were bone dry, so I am guessing it was shipped brand new with a bad O ring or gasket somewhere. Pentair says that each unit is tested before shipping. It did arrive with traces of moisture but now I am thinking that this was a unit that might have been returned. I did not use the union kit supplied with the pump. My installation already had unions. the pump had inside and outside threads which was good. However the o rings supplied with the union kit were too big, good thing I did not have to use it.I am not happy.

Distinct Design
By Doug Richardson
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.

Little wonder that could
By ForcedMechanic
The pump arrived quickly from Amazon on a 2nd day plan. Packaging standard from the manufacturing, flimsy box but protected with a adaptable foam so no problem there.Supplied union kit was very handy, reduced the amount of PVC piping and allowed easier installation. Did the connection myself after watching a useful video online (search for this model's name). One useful advice that the guys give - prop it on the bricks and this petite pump is easier to install if the previous pump's body was bigger.1.5 HP is a sucking beast! My creepy crawler is running like crazy, climbing walls and steps, something it never done before.The door for the basket is a little tough to deal with, requires extra effort but it works.Pump is very quiet, could barely hear it a few meters away.The body appears to be well-made, mostly thick plastic.
