wil this pump replace the whisper fl pentair wf-26. if there is one that will replace the whisper flo pool pump without any problem and cheaper please advise. our current pump is wf26 pentair whisperflo1.5 horsepower.

Hi Donna, This PureLine Prime 1.5 HP pump is not a compatible replacement for the Pentair WF-26 pump performance wise. The Prime pump is a medium head pump and the Whisperflo pump is a high head pump. You can read our "Which is Best: High Head or Medium Head Pumps?" for more details.

My old pipe work is 1.5 will it reduce motor life to reduce fittings from 2in

It will reduce the life a little bit but not enough to make a big difference. It's kind of like putting your thumb over a garden hose compared to just letting the water flow, if that makes any sense.

Need to replace a Pentair Pinnacle in-ground pool pump, model #342856. Is this PureLine pump compatible/comparable. Will any plumbing/lines need to be adjusted?

If you switched to the pureline prime you would have to get an adapter for the ports because the Pinnacle has 1.5" and the Prime has 2" ports. Other than that, the Prime would be a good replacement for the Pinnacle.

I ordered a pump housing o-ring, and the shaft seal for my "Water Ace" pump from you. After installing the seals, I still couldn't get the pump to prime. I thought I was in over my head so I called a pool repair company. he said I had an air leak in the pump housing and for $570.00 he would put in a Water Way pump. Does the ceramic face in the shaft seal face the pump or the basket?

The ceramic side faces the pump basket with the rubber part facing the motor.

I am replacing an old Jacuzzi Magnum pump that is so old that I cannot see the HP on the tag.

What pump would be the proper replacement?

What is the distance from your pump to your skimmers so I can calculate your flow rate and do you have any other water features that is going to take away from the pressure besides the suction cleaner?

replacing 17 yr old Jacuzzi Magnum Force 1.5 hp pump. 230/115 8/16 amp 1.5 hp (1.1SF) on my 36x18 avg depth 6ft pool. Appox 28-29k gallons. I have an 8ft lift from bottom drain (24 ft total run) and a 12 ft run from the skimmer. 2 return lines: 20 ft to shallow end, 24 ft to deep end. Not sure how much that plumbing costs me in GPM but I wonder if this model is a good replacement for the Jacuzzi pump.

Going from the Jacuzzi to the PL2602 you would be losing about 10 GPM, so you would be looking at about 75 GPM with the PL2602.

my pool holds about 26000 gallons of water , should I use a 1.5 hp pump ?
Reply
Hi Ken, Normally a 1.5 HP would be the properly sized pump for a 26,000-gallon pool, however, there are other factors to consider like if your pump will also be powering spa jets, water features or solar. Any of those factors may require you go with a larger pump. You will also want to make sure your filter can handle the output of the pump. On your filter there should be a GPM rating and this pump will output roughly 60 GPM under normal plumbing condtions, so you will want to make sure your filter can handle at least 60 GPM.

Hi, my pool holds 30,000 gallons. My pump motor was overheating I went to look at it and I see it is only 3/4 hp it seems to be undersized. What is the proper size motor for a pool this size?

Hi Jake, Typically for a 30,000 gallon pool you would use a 1.5 HP pump and this 1.5 HP PureLine Prime would be a good choice. You just want to make sure that your filter can handle at least 75 Gallons per minute, you should be able to find the GPM information on your filter tank.

Reply
Hi, Bob. The Whisperflo pump is a high-performance pump and the PureLine pumps are not. In order to find out if the PL2602 pump will provide adequate water flow for your pool, you will need to calculate the feet of head of your pool. Instructions for calculating your pool feet of head are located in our How To Size a Pool Pump guide.

Currently have failing 1HP Hayward pump (motor bearings shot). My pool is 20 x 40 inground. Considering following options and request your opinion:
a) replace with your 1HP INYO replacement pump
b) replace with your 1.5HP INYO replacement pump
c) replace with your 1.4HP INYO variable speed pump. This just seems like a logical option.
Can you give me your opinion on this?
Reply
Hi MT, I really like the PL2605 1.65 HP Variable Speed Pump, this pump is great because it gives you the ability to ramp all the way up to 1.65 HP for things like vacuuming, spa jets, water features, etc.. but you can also really dial the pump down for general pool filtration and that is where you will see all of your savings. With the PL2605 Variable Speed you are looking at saving between 50% - 70% on your operational cost vs. a single speed pump.
