Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Pentair variable speed unit was used to replace a 2 hp fixed speed unit. Programming is simple as well. Secondly you don't have to worry about voltage either, it automatically knows what voltage to use.

The inflow and outflow ports are exact replica dimensions of the hayward gold pump. Easy to replace an existing pump with minimal plumbing and electrical knowledge. Ten hours of 200 watts sure beats the 1,100 continuous watts the hayward was pulling.

No more loud noise and hopefully no more huge electric bills. Compared to our old pump which seemed so loud, this one is very quiet. On start up and higher speeds it gets a bit louder but still significantly quieter.

Cons

If you install the product yourself, the warranty is only 3 months instead of one year. There is nothing on the product page that says it needs to be installed by an authorized technician. Pentair is very quick to void your warrantee for any reason.

Tried hard start and factory reset. Now the built-in controller no longer works. Won't run at high speed, it just keeps shutting down.

Customer service at pentair is horrendous. The product leaked out of the box. To me, this is deceptive.

The motor is made to never shut off.

Price

This pentair pump has reduced my pool electricity by $50 each month.

I cant believe this doubled in cost.

I thought it was expensive back then.

I bought this around 3 years ago, it was about $650 plus tax.

Shipping

Seller delivered it in 2 days so would highly recommend!

Also, the first pump arrived with significant shipping damage.

Ordered on a saturday and arrived monday at 2pm.

The pump arrived in a timely manner.

Packaging/appearance

Arrived in perfect shape and protection with proper connections and material.

Ordered another one, packed crappy, product scratched, other than that no more serious damage.

Competitiveness

Much to my surprise when i started shopping for a new pump, i discovered that pentair has all but discontinued all their single... Read More

The noise level at full 3450 rpm is different in natural from my old 2hp single speed pentair whisperflo but about the same level.
