Replacement pump

Well sure enough. Hidden between the 3/4 and 1 hp Northstar models poolplaza lists a 1/2 hp fullrated one for $414.07. They also list an up rated 1hp dual speed Super Pump for a whopping $529.65.

Any reason to go with the 2 speed 1 hp Super Pump over a 1/2 hp Northstar? Seems like the Northstar would have the same current draw as the 1 hp on low speed, yet put out the flow of the 1hp on high speed.

You should be able to do better on that Northstar price Search around.

As for SP vs Northstar, I couldnt find any electrical specs on the SuperPump. The Northstar uses .37 Kw. I dont know how much the SP uses on low, but on high speed it most likely more than .37 Kw.

BTW: you can resend your PM to me, I cleaned out my PM box.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help and replies. The 2 speed Super Pump is in and running. Once I turned it on it was obvious the old pump had seen better days. Its nice to have the low speed option. Now to just get the timer installed.
