Any opinions on an Ikeric Dyna-miser pump?

[tphaggerty]

I think they were. If you go to the Ikeric web site, they have a History link that says that a pool builder thought this idea up and had Pentair build it for him. I am guessing that he gave Pentair the rights to build some derivative of his idea (I know I would).

But, it seems that Pentair is going for the really high end (electronics built in, etc), versus Ikeric which (from my discussion with them) has a separate control box that is simpler. Also, it appears that the Ikeric is using a lower end line of Pentair pumps as the starting point, whereas Pentair is using there premium line. Just my thoughts from looking at both websites and product descriptions (and talking with an Ikeric sales person).

Can you get your pool efficiency guy to get you a local reference where they have used the Ikeric pump? Maybe you can get a first person account!!
