Good, but noisy,

Pros: Strong performer; primes quickly
Cons: Noisy motor bearing
"Purchased this 1-hp version as an upgrade replacement for a 9-year-old 1-hp Hayward II Super pump that seized-up. The 2" suction fitting is about 1.5" higher than the old pump, so that required some minor creative plumbing, but not hard to do. I'm disappointed the motor bearing farthest from the pump housing is noisy (rattles). The pump itself is very quiet. Guess I'll learn to live with the noise for the next ten years."

Pros: Great Pump
Cons: none
"I had to purchase all new pumps this year and I purchased the first one from the local pool store for about $600.00. Then I found intheswim and they had the same pump for about half what i paid locally. All their products seem to be low priced I buy everthing for my pool here."
