Would a pentair intellipro 2 VST be a lot more energy efficient than this pump? Trying to decide if it is a worthwhile upgrade to save energy
Hi. Yes, the IntelliPro 2 VST will be more efficient than this WFDS-6.
I want to replace my pump this year, I have an in-ground pool Approx 24,000 gallons, hayward aquarite salt generator cell Aqr15. With a pentair Clean and Clear cartridge filter 420 sqft . The existing piping on the return is two 1-1/2" inlets . the cartridge filter has 2" pipe in and out. But the discharge line is only 1-1/2" which feed two discharges into the pool. Can you help me on the right pump to bye Thanks Glenn
Are you looking for a single speed, dual speed or variable speed pump?
I am having this pump motor overhauled and the technician is unable to locate a stationary switch for this model. Here are the numbers he gave me WFDS-6 / 0118252 Motor #177456 Are you able to supply me with this switch?
We do have this Stationary Switch in Stock here.
I think my earlier question was not clear. I have a 1.5 hp whisperflow pump, and would like to change the motor on it to a 1 hp. 1: Are the motors interchangeable? 2: Will I need a new impeller?
Steve- You will be able to drop down to a 1hp with no issues. For example; you could get the B982 motor .I would also recommend changing the impeller to match the hp of the motor, which would be 5074-27B. As always I change the seals while you've already got everything taken apart, which would be GOKIT32 or GOKIT32SALT.
My pump is oversized, can I change from a 1.5 hp motor to 1 hp on a whisperflow?
Hello Steve, Yes if you are over size you can go down to a smaller pump. The whisperflo is a high head pump. Which at 1hp will still operate very efficient
Do you sell a 2 speed toggle switch for the Pentair Whisperflo pump?
Yes. You can find the Pentair Whisperflo 2 speed toggle switch here: http://www.inyopools.com/Products/07501352033552.htm
I just finished replacing the shaft seal on my booster pump. As soon as I turned the pump on water was leaking from the shaft seal. Is it defective or am I doing something wrong?
Depending on the model, the installation of a booster pump shaft seal can be slightly different than a pool pump shaft seal. Some booster pump and pool pump shaft seals require that a silicone sealant be used on the outer areas of the metal seat of the shaft seal. The seal will need to be lightly hammered into the body of the pump. You can use a 1 inch PVC coupling or a piece of 1 1/4 inch PVC pipe and a rubber mallet. This procedure will apply to any pool pump or booster pump using a >PS-1000 style shaft seal.
How does the dual speed feature of this pump work?
Some dual speed pumps have a toggle switch in the back of the motor to change speeds manually, but many do not. Generally you would need to tie this dual speed pump into one of our dual speed pump timers/controllers. One of the more popular models is the Digital PE153 series. This timer has 3 functions: one to turn the pump on and off, a second auxiliary to switch from high speed to low speed, and then a third for any other piece of pool equipment.
