Model # P2RA5E
Click here from Sta-Rite Pumps
I have a StaRite P2RA5E-181L pool pump. My motor - SQ1072 - quit working as it is very old. It's a 3/4 hp motor. I ordered a similar motor that is described as compatible with my pump, but with 1hp instead. Will this work with all things being identical except a hp difference?
Reply
Everything should line up right, but you may notice an increase in the electric bill, as the 1HP will draw more amps.

You have a very informative website, thanks. Here's my question:
I have a surplus sta rite pool pump p2ra5e-181L complete with strainer. I live on a lake and would like to pump out of it.. Will this pump lift water approx 8ft to serve as an irrigation pump for my yard? Will it self-prime after the first use? I will be using a foot valve.
Thanks,
John

Hi, John. The Dura-Glas Pumps can self-prime up to 15 ft above the water level. As far as being a great irrigation pump, it's not designed to be.

I have a stay rite duraglass 1 HP pump, Tank body has developed a leak (small crack in 25 year old pump). It works fine but has a drip leak near dischaarge fitting. Your website shows a (Key 15) part no 5056-71 "Tank body" that looks like mine. Will it fit? I would also want a (Key14) O ring and a (Key 28) rubber gasket.

Hi, Sidney. With the pump being that old, I would recommend replacing the entire pump. If you're unable to then replacing those parts will be sufficient.

I have a P2R A5E - 124L pump. It is attached to a 1 HP, 3450 rpm motor. What is the flow rate and pumping pressure of the pump?
Reply
Hi, David. To calculate the flow rate of this pump, you will need to know the Total Dynamic Head (TDH) of your pool. Once you've calculated the TDH, use the Sta-Rite Dura-Glas Pump Curve to determine the flow. You can use these following guides that we have, How to Size a Pool Pump, How To Measure Total Dynamic Head With Gauges and How Do I Calculate Feet of Head for My Pool?

Hi, Jay. Yes, the Tank Body - C176-47P1 is the correct replacement for the Sta-Rite P2RA5E-124L model pump. To view all the other available replacement parts use the Sta-Rite Dura-Glas and Max-E-Glas Parts Diagram.

I need the square cut seal plate o-ring, part number 375099Z and I can't seem to find it ANYWHERE. Everyone is listing the round o-ring U9-228A.
I doubt the are interchangeable, am I correct? Can you get the correct o-ring?

Hi, Diane. The Speck EasyFit MXG 1HP Max Rated Pump (IG281-1100M-0DG) is a drop-in replacement for the Sta-Rite P2RA5E pump. We will need additional info like the "Feet of Head" to calculate the flow rate to make sure that it does not exceed the flow rate of the Sta-Rite Posi--Flo PTM70.

Hello, I have a pool pump that I believe is Sta-rite P2RA5E. (the label is not so good). The pump motor is a marathon 1 hp single speed, frame 56z, square flange, model 5kc38sn6084ax. I would like to replace it with a dual speed (pool is in florida). I saw a a.o smith dual speed on your site (Pool Motor Square Flange 1 HP Full Rate Dual Speed w/ Digital Controller (B2982T), and i would like to know if this is a viable replacement. At this time I am not sure of voltage or amps to the pump.

Hi Michael, The A.O. Smith 3/4 HP Full Rated Dual Speed Motor w/ Digital Controller (B2980T) or (B2981T) would be the correct replacement motor once you confirm the voltage to replace the Marathon 5KC38SN6084AX motor.

I have Sta Rite Dura-Glas (not Dura-Glas II) that I need to replace. I dont see the entire pump listed for sale anywhere, only replacement parts. Do you have this pump? Is there another pump that would be a direct replacement?
Reply
You are correct, the Dura-Glas is no longer available as a whole unit, only parts are available. As for a true drop in replacement there is none but we do recommend the Max-E-Pro series as an equivalent and durable replacement.

Pros: Exact replacement

I am so pleased with this pump. Apparently my old one had been malfunctioning for a long time. The new one came completely assembled and ready to install. No problems. The new pump has my pool circulation running as it should.
