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 have Sta Rite Dura-Glas (not Dura-Glas II) that I need to replace. I dont see the entire pump listed for sale anywhere, only replacement parts. Do you have this pump? Is there another pump that would be a direct replacement?
Reply
You are correct, the Dura-Glas is no longer available as a whole unit, only parts are available. As for a true drop in replacement there is none but we do recommend the Max-E-Pro series as an equivalent and durable replacement.

I have this pump but it is leaking. Do you have the pump seal or anything equivalent that you would recommend....Thanks

Yes, you can use the GOKIT6 for the pre-1998 series and the GOKIT54 for the after series. If you are not sure which series that you have then you can just use the GOKIT54 and remove the copper cone that is in the motor shaft hole on the seal plate so the kit will work. You may also want to inspect the pump housing for any cracks or warped parts as well.

Hi, William. The SQS1102R motor along the Tune Up Kit - GOKIT54 are the replacement parts you will need for this model pump.

Is there a 110 volt version of this? Mine seems to be 110 with only three wires from the switch
how warm should this get when operating? mine is running a bit hot to the touch

Hi, Kelcie. The ambient temperature rating is on the motor label most are rated at 40 or 50 degrees. That means that it can operate at that temperature over the ambient air temp.

so it says 50 degrees c that means it can operate ate 50 degrees over the outside temp... meaning if the outside temp is 37 degrees celcius then it can run at 87 degrees celcius? that translates to 176 degrees f... that seems extremely hot

Yes, you are correct the operating at a range of 140 up to 200 degrees. They have a thermal overload switch which is designed to shut it down if it operates at a higher temperature.
