How does the dual speed feature of this pump work?
Reply
Some dual speed pumps have a toggle switch in the back of the motor to change speeds manually, but many do not. Generally you would need to tie this dual speed pump into one of our dual speed pump timers/controllers. One of the more popular models is the Digital PE153 series. This timer has 3 functions: one to turn the pump on and off, a second auxiliary to switch from high speed to low speed, and then a third for any other piece of pool equipment. You may view these controllers through the following link: Intermatic Timers

Does this pump come with a toggle switch? If not, How do I switch from high & low speeds?
Reply
We spoke with Pentair and their Whisperflo pumps do not come with a toggle switch. If you already have a timer your best bet would be to add the T106R timer. This would wire into your existing timer, your existing timer would turn the pump on and off and the T106 would switch from High Speed to Low Speed. Here is the wiring diagram for the T106 http://www.inyopools.com/owners_manual/intermatic_t106.pdf Also, here is the link to view or purchase this item: http://www.inyopools.com/Products/02400001004824.htm

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?
Reply
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.

What is the difference in a wfds 26 and a wfds 6?
Reply
The WFDS26 is uprated, while the WFDS6 is the fullrated version. The total HP of a motor is calculated by multiplying the listed HP with the Service Factor. A service factor is 1.25 and below is Uprated and one above 1.3 is Fullrated.
