1.5HP Variable 2-Speed Swimming Pool Pump High Flow Above-Ground Swimming Pump Strainer w/Slip on Fitting

Living in Nashville we usually end up with some cold weather and frost. My current pump started to burn out it's bearing and was becoming to Noisy to run at night when the temperature started to drop. I needed a quick replacement and this pump was the practical solution. It was shipped and arrived in two days. It only took me one day to install and was up and running before the frost and snow arrived. Works like a charm, is quiet and at a great price point.

Pour ma piscine hors terre.Le prix est abordable comparativement à d'autres sur le marché.

Purchased for the replacement of the original pump. Quick shipping and easy to install. Would recommend.

great price, nice quiet pump after month of use but need to run on high.

This pump is about 1/3 the price of the Hayward pump it replaced and fortunately for me, it has the same size fittings in the same location as the Hayward pump which made replacing it quick and easy. The pump is running fine so far so lets compare it to the Hayward it replaced.The size and fittings between them is the same in both size and location, and as said above, makes it a fairly easy replacement. The mounting plate is not exactly the same and required me to drill new holes in the filter base to mount it but that is not a big deal to meThe Hayward pump assembly is heavier than this one and and since the pump itself looks about the same, most of the added weight is in the motor. I would say that the Hayward motor is a heavier duty motor. The motor on this unit runs warm but not hot in low speed and cooler on high speed, probably due to the motors fan moving more air on high speed.The Hayward probably moves a bit more water than this pump in both speeds but really not enough to cut this pump down for it. Sound wise, they are about the same with this one slightly louder on low speed and slightly quieter on high. Either way, this pump runs quietly enough not to disturb anyone.The one true downside to this pump is its lack of real warranty. The only real warranty it has is Amazons return policy and the tag in the box actually says to deal with the seller for short term issues. They do offer a 1 year extended warranty but for most of us, it is completely useless. In order to activate it, you need to have the pump professionally installed. The price to have this done in many cases can wind up costing as much as the pump itself. If the pump does fail within this extended warranty, you need to send it shipping prepaid to the manufacturer. This means that you have to pay for shipping both ways. The cost of both the install and the shipping both ways would more than exceed the cost of just buying a new pump so effectively, there is no warranty past the Amazon return / exchange window.I honestly don't expect this pump to last as long as the Hayward pump it is replacing but at 1/3 the price, if it lasts half as long, it is still a bargain. If it fails before the season is over, I will update this review but as for now, it is doing what it was bought to do.
