Is this pump Energy Star certified?

Lynn, In short, no. The pump is a standard efficiency pump. You will likely need a variable speed pump.

I have a 15,000 gallon pool. I currently have a Hayward pump which is 22 years old. Last April I replaced the motor with a UST1202. If I replace the pump with a pureline pump will the motor I have fit it. I just want to keep it as a spare. What size pump do you recommend.
 Reply

A  Answered on 1/8/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Glen, Yes the UST1202 would work as a spare replacement motor for the PL2603 PureLine Prime 2 HP Pump. There are several variables that will determine which size pump you would require like the size of your filter, do you have a spa or water features, how long of a run of pipe from pool to pump and pipe size. We put together a good Video on How to Size a Pool Pump which should help you determine the correct HP you require.

Hi Dave, The PureLine Prime Pool Pump 2 HP would be a perfect replacement for the Hayward RS2000 pump. The plumbing ports are not in the exact same location as the RS2000 (they are off by a few inches), so you may have some minor re-plumbing.

I have a Hayward 3015x20....2 HP pump. Will your Part # PL2603 2 HP pump be a direct drop in to replace it? Will it perform the same as my Hayward?
 Reply

A  Answered on 3/4/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Dale, You have the Hayward Super II and the PureLine Prime is not a drop-in replacement for the Super II, it is a Drop-in replacement for the Hayward Super Pump. The PureLine Prime 2 HP would be a good replacement for your Hayward Super II 3015x20 but you will have some minor re-plumbing as the plumbing ports are not in the exact same spot as the Super II (they are off by an inch or so).

Need to replace a Jandy Stealth SHPF 2.0. This is a 2.0 HP motor that draws 11 amps when running 220V. The ports on the Jandy are 3 inch diameter. Can I use the Pureline Prime Pool Pump 2 HP as a replacement?
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/9/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Jay, your Jandy pump is a 2 HP full Rate where this PureLine is a 2 HP uprate. This means the PureLine would be comparable to a 1.5 HP Jandy full rate pump. If you seemed to have more than enough power with your current pump then you could downsize the HP to the PureLine PL2603 and spend less on your operational costs. I show the Jandy pump accepts 2" or 2.5" plumbing where the PureLine accepts 2" plumbing. I would check the size on your pipe and if it is 2" then the PureLine will be fine. If you do decide to stay with your Jandy pump then here is the Jandy 2 HP Full Rate Replacement Pump.

I am looking to replace my Hayward SP2607X10, will this pump be Ok? I am also looking to change my sand filter to a cartridge filter at the same time. Will this pump and cartridge combo be better than my current set up?
 Reply

A  Answered on 2/12/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi, Michael. A cartridge filter is more efficient than a sand filter when it comes to filtration and flow. Going from a 1 hp pump to a 2 hp is a major increase. You will have to make sure that your system is able to handle the water flow. I would recommend using our How to Size a Pool Pump and How To Size a Pool Filter guides to make sure that you properly size your pump and filter to meet your pool needs.

 Reply

Hi, Gary. The RS Series Pump is a higher performing pump than this Prime pump. It will not be a suitable replacement. However, to determine if this pump will be sufficient for your pool, you will need to calculate the Total Dynamic Head (TDH) of your pool, then use the Prime Pump Curve to determine the flow rate.

I need to replace a Northstar SP4015x20. Hayward has discontinued this pump. What do you recommend. I would consider any brand. What I would like to do is to avoid re-plumbing. The Northstar as 2 inch threaded fittings, rather than bayonet type. It claims to be a 2 HP pump, but I think the motor is more like 1.5 HP. It moves 100 GPM through our very large sand filter. Our pool is 65,000 gal.

A  Answered on 3/2/2019 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Greg, The port size on the PureLine Prime will be the same size as your pump 2-1/4" inch means that it will accommodate 2" pipe and fittings. This PureLine Prime 2 HP would be the pump we suggest for your application. You may have a little bit of re-plumbing because the inlet and outlet ports are not in the exact same location as your old pump, however the re-plumbing should be minimal and not that major of an undertaking.

    Thank you. Before I order, I just want to make sure this pump will be good for my use which is it is my inground spa pump used for spa jets. Of which I have 6. The pool pump a variable speed Pentair also runs through the spa either recirculating for spa use or spillover for pool use. The pump I need is strictly a dedicated spa jet pump.
     Reply

    • Commented on 3/11/2019 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

      Hi Greg, Typically spa jets take about 12-15 GPM per jet so for 6 spa jets I would estimate you will need a GPM between 72-90 GPM. For normal plumbing setups, you will have 30'-40' of head and this pump will do 90-103 GPM at 30'-40' of head, I always like to size spa pumps a little larger to make sure you have enough power to adequately run the jets, so I think this pump would work out great for your application.
