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

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.

What is the difference between the Wisperflo 011523 and the Wisperflo 011524. The 523 is much more money. They are both dual speed, 2hp, and 2in inlet and outlet. Looks the same.

The model 011523 is actually a full rated which means that the total horsepower is more by about .5.

I'm planning on ordering this to replace my Pentair WFDS-28 which works with my Jandy Controller to automatically switch between high and low speeds..
Will this new Pentair WFDS-28 pump wire OK into my Jandy controller to run High and Low speed or do I need to manually operate the "toggle switch" every time I want to go to a different power?
Thank you

Hi Richard, If your pump was already wired up to the Jandy to switch between high and low then this would work the same way. If on your old pump you had to manually switch from high to low then you would need to order this Jandy Dual Speed Relay to change speed from your AquaLink. You will need to make sure you have space for an extra relay.

I need to replace my Pentair "WhisperFlo" 2-Speed 2 HP Pump Motor (WFDS-28/011524 2.0/.25 Motor #177456).
Can you suggest a motor
Good afternoon, the motor needed would be the Century 2.0 HP Square Flange 56Y Dual Speed Full Rate Motor - B2984 with the GOKIT32.

Thank you very much. Please also let me know the option to replace with single speed motor

The Century 2.0 HP Square Flange 56Y Up Rate Motor - B855 If you are in California you will require the dual-speed or V-Green 2.7 HP Square Flange 48Y Variable Speed Motor - ECM27SQU due to Title 20 Compliance law. We also offer the Tune Up Kit Pentair/Purex Whisperflo Saltwater - GOKIT32SALT it can be used with salt or chlorine pools, has a heavier duty longer-lasting shaft seal.

I have a two speed Pentair Whisperflo pump.
In low mode should water in basket and sight gauge area be full? Mine is only about half full. On high mode it is very full.

Hi William, most often when a pool pump is running at low speed the basket will not be completely full. As long as there is water flowing back into the swimming pool then for your particular system, then it is running correctly.
