Product Description

Inyo Recommended Pumps

Challenger® High Flow pumps are designed to deliver increased flow rates needed in more demanding applications. And they deliver extra pumping power while minimizing energy use. These fiberglass reinforced pumps feature closed impellers and durable custom-molded thermoplastic components to meet the toughest operating conditions and keep on going. Thanks to a proprietary hydraulic design that’s been refined for over 40 years, the Pentair Challenger pump delivers superior performance using smaller horsepower motors that cost far less to run.

Beyond efficiency, the top criteria for your pump should be long, trouble-free life and easy service which, Challenger pumps can give you year after year.

Just replaced my PAC pump and motor with the Pentair Challenger 1 HP, everything looks the same. But wire terminals are labeled different from the old pump. Can you tell me what color wire goes to what terminal?

Now have a pinnacle PF11-P-3/4 pump which after many years have failed. what would you recommend as a replacement pump ? Was thinking of going to a 1 hp pump

Hi Alan, The Pentair Challenger pump would be a good replacement. The Pentair Challenger 1 HP FR Pump (342234) has a total hp of 1.65 so you want to kane sure that you system can handle a pump this size. I would recommend watching our How To: Size A Pool Pump video to make sure that you get the correct size pump for your pool.

Hi, Matt. The IntelliFlo Variable Speed Pump - 011018 is the pump I will recommend.

Hello.  The Pentair Challenger CFII-N1-1A (343233) Inlet and Outlet Ports are 2".  This information is not necessary to replace the motor model 168452.  The Century 1.0 HP Square Flange 56Y Up Rate Motor - B2853 is a compatible replacement motor for the motor model 168452.  The Tune Up Kit Pac Fab Challenger CFII/Pinnacle Series - GOKIT73 contains the parts necessary to install the new motor.  Attached please find the Pentair Challenger Pump exploded parts diagram for reference.
