How does the dual speed feature of this pump work?
Reply
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. You may view these controllers through the following link: Intermatic Timers

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?
Reply
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.

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

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?
Reply
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.

(1 out of 5 stars) BE PREPARED FOR CONSTANT BREAKDOWNS AND REPAIRS

IN 2017 we updated our pump and timer system to reduce our annual energy bill. In the past 3 years we have had to replace the 1.5 hp motors twice (bearings seized up) as well as miscellaneous internal impeller parts. This 2 phase unit is very energy efficient, but the cost to replace motors, bearings, impellers and and such along with the service and labor fees to continuously repair it have made this unit the most expensive pool pump we have owned in 30+ years. We WERE longtime Pentair customers... NO MORE!
