Hi I am considering buy pump model PL1611. I was wondering what pump it compares to and why it is being discontinued. The price is in my wheel house for a new pump. Our pool system was damaged from Hurricane Michael and trying to get the pool up and running.
Thank you

Hi, Chris. This pumps compares to the Hayward Super Pump and or Pentair SuperFlo Pump. This pump is not being discontinued.

I have a Whisper Flo pump, the model number is 011772. It is a 1 hp. Is this pump a suitable replacement? I plan on switching over to a salt system.

Hi, Mark. Unfortunately, this pump is NOT a suitable replacement for your Whisperflo 011772 model pump. You can use the following pump as a replacement; Whisperflo Pump 1 HP - WF-24 / 011772, Super II Pump 1 HP Single Speed - SP3007X10AZ or the Champion 1 HP Max Rate Pump - CHAMPS-110.

Is your 1.5 HP in ground pool pump equal to or exceed the Hayward SP2610X15 Super Pump 1.5 HP Pool Pump spec? Including the fitting size inlet and outlet.

Hi, Tom, the PL1611 Pure Flow Pump would not be as powerful as the Hayward SP2610X15 1.5 HP Super Pump. We would suggest the PureLine Prime Salt Friendly 1.5 HP PL2622 which would be just as powerful as the Hayward Super Pump 1.5 HP. The PL2622 is a drop-in replacement for the Hayward Super Pump, the only difference is that the ports accommodate 2" plumbing where the ports on the Super Pump are for 1.5" plumbing but a standard 1.5" to 2" plumbing fitting can be used to accommodate 1.5" pipe.

Purchased a pure line pump few weeks ago 1.5 hp. Everything was fine until two days ago. Pump is working only the basket is not filling up. So reading all the material I can the obvious reason is air. So the technical data in the manual reads I have a J15008. This also matches with name plate data on the motor. I would like to replace the o-ring on the lid. The picture matches what I have so I should get a JR07501002. Is that the correct one? Hope you understand

Hello! My wife and I just bought a new house and the pool pump recently went out on us. We had a professional come over to diagnose the issue and he recommended we replace it with a 1.5hp pump. Would this pump be compatible? Our pool is saltwater as well.
Hi, Mike. We will need to know the model of the pump housing if you want to replace the entire pump.

Will this replace my Hayward 1hp system? See photo.
Hi Jeffrey, from an output standpoint the PL1611 would be a suitable replacement for the Hayward Pump in your photo. The plumbing ports on the PL1611 are not in the exact same spot as your current pump so you will have a little re-plumbing if you go that route. If you wanted a drop in replacement then you could go with the PureLine Prime PL2621 1 HP which has the plumbing ports in the exact same spot as your current pump, meaning no replumbing. The Prime does have 2" ports instead of 1.5" ports as shown in your photo so you may have to change the adapter going into the pump but this can be purchased at a local hardware store and is an easy swap.

Can you advise as to a variable speed pump that might work?

Hi Jeffery, I would suggest the PureLine Prime PL2625 Variable Speed Pump as a great replacement to your current pump. The output will be comparable on the high speed, the PL2625 comes with the top of the line Century motor which carries an 18-month warranty and the plumbing will be pretty easy since the ports are in the same location as your current pump. You will save a ton of money on your operational costs when you switch to variable speed. If the PL2625 is more than you want to spend then the PL1615 Variable Speed Pump would be a good option as well, it will have a little less power than your current pump and carries a 12-month warranty.

Hi, I’ve got an old Hayward superpump C48K2N143B1 1.hp that is beyond repair . I’m wondering if this pump would work. Pool is 11x24, 10,000 gal. Pentair DE filter. I don’t want to spend as much as a Hayward for replacement. Thanks
I would recommend not going up in horsepower as your system may not be compatible. For your model, I would recommend the model pump PL2601.
Reply
Would you be able to advise why going up by .5 hp would not be compatible with a pool system? My filter is a pentair fnsp 60 as seen in photo. Would there be any reason going up .5 hp would be an issue and if so would you be able to advise why?
I have an 18'x36' in ground salt. Do I need 1 or 1.5 hp? The label on the super pump is worn away.
Hi, John. In order to determine what size pump you'll need, provide us with the Impeller # of your existing pump or the Total Dynamic Head (TDH) of your pool.

When the pump quits I will get the #. Don't want to chance taking it apart . thanks

I need to replace a Pentair 340039. Is this a drop in replacement?
Guys I have a Vertical float tank 300 gallons, 30% salt this pump can handle that type of density and salt?
Thanks
Bruno, yes the 1.5 H.P In Ground Pool Pump Salt Friendly - PL1611 will be able to handle this density and salt and operate your float tank.

I have a Harris 1.5 in ground pool pump salt water. Motor needs to be replaced. Do you have just the motor?
Although, this pump model looks very similar to our Pureline PL16 series pool pump, which has a few other names it goes under I cannot say that we have motor listings for that specific model pool pump.

Is this an appropriate match for a 20x40 inground saltwater pool with level yard - 1st skimmer 35 ft away- return port 50 ft away- pvc connect is 1 1/2". Currently replacing hayward super pump which only lasted 2 seasons- not sure if early burnout was due to incorrect size for needs?-(unable to read most info (HP-can't read) model ends in K2N143B1 - AMPS 1(?).0/7.5 - HZ 60 and the #SP1607Z1M

Hi, John. Based on the info provided, I don't think your pump motor failed due to a sizing issue. If you want us to confirm, please provide the Total Dynamic Head (TDH) of your pool.
Reply
I am not so concerned as to why the pump failed, but really need to know of a 1 1/2 HP pump with 2 inch value will cause any problems using a conversion to the current 1 1/2 inch lines.
Reply
John, It can, however, that is based on the type of pump that you're using. If the pump is cavitating, then the pump is too large for the application.

i purchased pump number pl1611, on the pump it says pl1135, however is this the right pump and also i cant get it prime to save my life everything is working however the pump has no suction. the pipes have been checks and are clear.
Reply
Hi, John. The PL1135 is the motor that operated this pump. As for priming the pump, check out our How To Prime a Pool Pump and How To Determine Why a Pool Pump Won't Prime guides.

hello, I was wondering if this pump "PURELINE 1.5H.P." work to replace the one have, here's a picture of the spec's of my old pump.
thanks PAUL
Hi, Paul. In order to confirm, please provide us the pump housing model number or name and or the Total Dynamic Head (TDH) of your pool. We're unable to use the motor info to confirm if this pump will work.

I am looking for a replacement motor for my pool pump SMF-110. I have a saltwater pool. The new pump/motor was installed a year ago. It will not start (not capacitor). The defective motor is covered with rust which i believe was caused by the humidity and salt water.
Why is this called a "Salt Friendly" pump? Is this the type of pump i should have had? Is this pump recommended for salty environment and salt water pools?
Hi, Delroy. This pump is built with a heavy-duty shaft seal that is designed to operate in a saltwater water environment. It will provide additional protection. This Pump performance-wise is not a good replacement for the SMF-110 pump.

I just bought this pump in June of this year and its beginning to get louder then what it was a couple of months ago. I measured the sound reading and it's at 76 decibels. What do you think is going on and should it be replaced.
Reply
Hi, Bruce. The only thing that could be wrong is the bearings failing. We do not have stock at this time so send a replacement. We can get it back and issue you a refund or you can use it until completely fails. We're getting in, however, not sure exactly when.
Reply
Will you let me know when you get them in? It still works, just getting a bit noisy.
Reply
Hello,We should be getting these back in stock in 3-4 weeks.

I never did see you get these back instock and its showing no more for the season. What are my options now?

The SMF 1.5 HP Max Rate Pool Pump - SMF-115 is the recommend replacement to the 1.5 H.P In Ground Pool Pump Salt Friendly - PL1611 The SMF pump offers 2" quick disconnects vs. the 1.5" pipe connection on the Pureline. It is not a drop-in replacement but it is very close to the same measurements. I will add images of the dimensions.
