Can you direct me to the proper hi low switch for this motor?

Unfortunately the manufacturer does not offer the switch for the 2 speed 220v motors any longer. If you already have a 220 volt timer (on/off) you would need an Intermatic T106R to switch from high to low speed. If you do not have a timer currently you would need the T10604R which is a 220v on/off timer and a high/low timer.

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.

Will this fit my WFE-8 Whisperflo Pump?

Hello Steve. That motor will fit, you will just need a method of changing from high to low speed. If you already have a 220 volt timer (on/off) you would need an Intermatic T106R to switch from high to low speed. If you do not have a timer currently you would need the T10604R which is a 220v on/off timer and a high/low timer.

my pump is not running like it used to. it works but in a lower velocity I noticed it has a switch in the back but when i flip it nothing happens. it's a pentair motor package # 355003S 60Hz 1PH 3450/1725RPM S.F. MaxAmps SF 6.0/2.3 and I want to buy the same king of pump, but i can not find it anywhere. Could you please assist me finding the best next thing that will fit the current piping. thank you.

Hello,
I have a Whisperflow pump with motor number 071321s. The motor is making a lot of noise. It is a 2 horsepower pump which is overkill for my 15,00 gallon pool. Do you have 1 1/2 horse replacement motor that will fit my pump?
Thanks

Hi, Mark. We're unable to confirm if this pump is too large for your pool without knowing the Total Dynamic Head (TDH) of your pool. You can downside your pump by switching out the Power End.

The TDH of my pool is around 65. I was looking to swap out the motor and use the pump portion. I was just wondering if the mounting is different for a 1 1/2 hp motor compared to the 2 hp.
