I have a sta-rite max e glas 1hp pea5e-181l pool pump, will the max-e-pro fit in with the same sizes (physical size out-put as my pump? I have not been able to find one the same as my good old one tk you, Al

Because the Sta-rite Max e Glass is no longer made, I am unable to find the overall dimensions of this pump. However, we do have dimension of the Max-E-Pro. Depending on the exact model you buy, the overall length averages about 26" and the overall height is approximately 14.2", with a 2" intake and out take.

How do I figure "total head" and gallons per minute for a Stay Rite max e pro p6ea6e205L?

Bill, You can use the flow chart that is located in the product description to see the GPM to total head this pump can generate.

My pool is 22,000 gal, 75 FoW, 1 1/2 in pipe. I replaced an old 1 hp. Sta-Rite pump (looked like the Max-E-Pro style), with a 1 hp. Pentair Superflo. Doesn't pull hard enough to clean pool and died after 3 yrs. Would like to go back to the Sta-Rite but the Max-E-Pro owners manual says not to attach anything smaller than 2 in. to the 2 in. suction inlet. Am I stuck with buying a pump with 1 1/2 in. fittings?

Hi Dave, You can use a reducer but it would be better to get a pump that can fits your pipe size.

Is this a good combination for a 24,000 gal pool with equipment located about 40 feet from pool skimmer return:
1. Max-Pro-E (1 horse pump) (Model#P6E6E-206L)
2. System 3 Cartridge filter (what size?/is there a valve needed between pump for waste, etc?)
3. Max-E-Therm LP Heater (what size?)
4. Intellichlor/with pwr supply (what size?)

Hi Bob, I would recommend the Max-E-Pro P6EA6E205L, System 3 Mod Media Cartridge Filter - S7M400 does not require a valve, Max-E-Therm - SR333LP or SR400LP and the Intellichlor IC40.

i have a 36000 gal Inground pool the pump I have now is 1 hp 230 v is this a good pick

Hi Scott, yes the max-e-pro is a great pump and if what you have already is a 1HP and it had been doing the job then I wouldn't switch unless you plan on adding extra water features in the future that will require an increased flow rate.

Hi, Steven. You can use this Max-E-Pro - P6EA6E205L, or the Whisperflo - WFE-24.

I have a StaRite P6E6E-206L (Max-E Pro?) pump, w/ a K48L2pA105 (A.O. Smith?) 1-HP motor. 1.65-SFHP, 3,450-RPM, 115/230-V. Someone replaced this motor about 6 years back, and now I need a replacement. Wondering if they used the rite motor? When I look up the motor mdl. # on the website, I get QC1102 as a replacement. If I look up the pump mdl. #, it looks to show something different. I just need a new motor & a Go-Kit. Ugh! My head is spinning! What would you suggest? Thanks

i currently have a sta rite Model P6E6E-206L I would like to replace it with a high efficiency unit what model would I go to replace this one and will it connect to the original plumbing?

Hi. There is not a more efficient single option. You will have to switch to a dual or variable speed if your system is capable.

Hello, I have MAX-E-GLAS II pool pump, Model number P4E6E-187L 1.0hp, what is a good replacement option? I would like to stay with Sta Rite but open to other options.

I have an older Sta-Rite P2RA5E 181L 1HP pump. It has worked wonderfully well for may years with minimal maintenance. The pump keeps the pool sparkling clean and free of debris My pool is an 35'000 gal inground pool with a total 25 ft of head (skimmer 20' + drain 30')/2 = 25'). The current pump is getting old and needs to be replaced. What would be my best option for this pool. I have looked at the Sta-Rite P6E6E206L. but want to make sure. Thanks for your website and help,.

HI, Robert. I recommend the Max-E-Pro - P6E6D-205L or P6EA6E-205L models which are Sta-Rite pumps

I have a broken Sta-Rite p6e6e-206l. Can anyone recommend a cheaper replacement? Thanks!

Hi Taylor, Yes the PL2602 PureLine Prime 1.5 HP would be a great replacement for a Sta-Rite p6e6e-206l. Please note that the plumbing ports are not in the exact same location so you will have a little replumbing but nothing major. Click the following link to view the PL2602 PureLine Prime 1.5 HP

I have a STA-RITE MAX-E-GLAS II pump P4E6E-187L with motor K48L2PA105 1 HP. See pics. What is a good replacement for this and what additional parts do I need to purchase, if any? Thanks!
Hi, GP. This Max-E-Pro 1 HP Full Rate Energy Efficient Pump - P6E6E--206L is a good replacement if you want to replace the entire pump. If you want to rebuild your existing pump, you will need the QC1102 motor and the Max-E-Glas II Tune Up Kit - GOKIT38.
Reply
You have to make a decision to rebuild or replace. If replacing think about Variable speed P6E6VS4H209L lots of rebates out there from mfg and utility companies. If you rebuild you will need a QC1102 and GOKIT38 this is not California compliant ECM16SQU. Another option dual speed SQS1102R.

Hi, James. I recommend using the Max-E-Pro 1.0 HP Up Rate Energy Efficient - P6EA6E-205L model.

I have a 28000 gallon pool and I am considering the sta-rite 1 hp full rate energy efficient pump. Will this be adequate for my needs, and how much energy does it use each hour?
Reply
Hi, David. This pump can be used to meet your pool needs based on your pool's Total Dynamic Head (TDH) and filter size. This pump uses 1.7KWh.
Reply
Does the power usage suggest that the pump runs at 1700 Watts per hour. That seems high for a high efficiency motor so I wanted to confirm. Thanks
Reply
This pump draws 8 amps at 230V operation the equation used to determine kWh is Multiply volts x amps to get watts then divide by 1000 to get kWh. (230 x 8) / 1000 = 1.82 kWh which is a little higher than originally stated. Here is a link to price per kWh for electricity in all 50 states to determine how much the pump would cost you to run. We put together an In Depth Article on How Much a Pool Pump Cost to Operate which goes into great detail on the topic. The conclusion from the article is that if you want to save on your operational costs then you should go with a Variable Speed Pool Pump as they will save you 50% - 75% to run. In California State law mandates Variable Speed Pumps and in July 2021 federal law requires all new pumps be VSP.

I would like to add a timer to this pump. Can you please recommend one that would be easy to hook up.
Thanks

Hi Dave, depending on what voltage you will have running to your pool pump here are some Intermatic timer options that we would recommend to consider for your application.
