why does this pump cost so much more than a 1 1/2 hp super pump?
621158
It's not expensive for a 1 1/2 hp pump that is 110/ 240 v when I shopped around I found the MSRP was false and varied end user prices were much closer. Watch for shipping fees pump is heavy. Use ground if possible

Thanks for the answer, I know it is my pump according to the repair man, and he was going to charge me 281.57 to replace it, and I said nope I will figure this out for myself at a much cheaper cost...LOL and just so you know, Whirlpoolrepair.com charges 167.99 plus shipping for just this part. For me where I live would have been 186.98....Geez that is just crazy and I would rather buy new machine than spend anywhere near that much....

The difference is in the length of the power cord and the location of the float switch. The manufacturer specs say bout the RS: *Manual pump with RS-5 diaphragm switch included to convert to automatic operation." Here is a link to the specs: http://www.franklin-electric.com/media/documents/995201.pdf

Sure. but why, car tires are normally around 30 -45 LBS, this pumps go to 3300, and it cost around $300

I believe it is 1/4 hp. You can find all the details at the Simer website. This product has worked GREAT for us. Using it for a basement laundry, utility sink, and dehumidifier drain. Pumping about 8' up to main drain, never had any problems so far (had it about 6 months)

The pump is designed for maximum output with an engine of 13 hp. This hooks right up to a honda GX390 which is what i am using in my application. I bought and used my pump this summer and it seems to work well. no complaints.

Assuming they haven't made any improvement in the blades, just added more power to the motor, the 1.5 amps in extra current is worth about one-fifth of an extra horsepower over the 13.5 amp model. Seems like a bit much when the price is 40% more for just a 10% increase in power. For what its worth, I own an SJ620 from 4 years back, and love it. Not sure if I would have gone for a more powerful model if it had been available at that time.

I am not sure,I did buy it to use with my 1/2 HP,but I checked the amps on my pump first. I havent tried it yet

1.5 HP is the rating of the horsepower of your pump, not the electrical ratings i.e. 120/220 volts and 15/20 amps. This is rated for 15A. however the full ratings for this, state 1HP http://www.intermatic.com/en/Products/Pool_and_Spa/Specialty_Controls/Portable_Outdoor_Timers/P1100_Series/P1131.aspx which im guessing is refering to the pump it will be connected to. It doesnt make sense to rate electrical equipment like this with HP.

I replaced my 1/2 HP pump with this one and it works great. I live in AZ also, this is good because you can change how long it stays at certain RPMs for longer so during monsoon you can up the pool vac a bit to get all that dust from the haboobs!

I can't answer your question, but mine is running for over two years without any glitches on a 1.5 HP filter pump

Are you looking for a spa pump? The 2 HP 2 Speed pump I have is for a pool. I would think there is a reason they make pumps specifically for spas and pools. I would call a spa/pool dealer for a more definite answer.

It's supposed to be per pump. But I highly doubt it really is. If I had it to do over again I would have got the bigger ones. I am running these in my 29g reef and they are barely enough.

The Zoeller pump I have is 1/3 HP. It lifts the water 10-12 ft up BUT does it once every few hours or so.The only thing I can recommend is it will fail after 5-6 years. The switch goes bad. Purchase a spare pump just in case. You can buy another switch with a new gasket and save $$$ on a pump, BUT is it really worth taking a chance?

Dont remember but I replaced a 1hp pump and this pump was a huge improvement

Most well pumps are 240 volt. You stated "deep water" which would indicated a need for a higher hp pump. Usually any pump over 1/3hp will be a 240v pump. These generators are 120v only!

It's 1/2 HP. Yes confusing by what some sellers publish because they are "boiler plating" their product information. So don't go by pictures either. When in doubt go directly to manufacturer website and get model information. This is a fantastic pump. Quiet but moreso...efficient.
