Sta Rite equipment good?

I just replaced a Hayward 3/4 hp SuperPump II with a Sta-Rite MaxEPro 3/4 this season. Moves a lot more water and is much quieter to operate. The servicing looks like it will be much easier as the impellor housing is held together with a stainless steel quick release band. The inlet basket is much larger. The only downside for me was the extra work involved in switching to 2" lines, but I was installing an AutoPilot SWG at the same time and it is a 2" manifold (I also replaced my Multiport valve that was 16 years old with a 2" version).

Also, I called Sta-Rite concerning a question I had about the pump before I ordered and was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to get to talk to a real person and that person was knowledgeable and happy to assist me. Now its just a matter of whether or not the product holds up over time, but I will certainly look favorably at Sta-Rite for other equipment needs now.

I have a Sta-Rite 1½ HP pool pump and a Sta-Rite 1½ Hp well pump, and apart from from having to repair the pool pump from a mistake I made, they have both served me well.
