    Need new pump

    Hi SMC, I really like the variable speed pumps as they allow you to run the pump at a full range of RPM's from 700 to 3450 where the single speed pumps just run all out at 3450 whenever the pump is being operated. Normally with a variable speed pool pump you can run the pump for your basic...

    Can Wiring for halogen lights be used for LED lights?

    Hi Jdmmdm3, Are you sure that you have a halgon style bulb? Halgon bulbs normally look like the bulbs on the left side of the photo below. Most pool lights use flood bulbs, which is the bulb furthest to the right, and if your light uses a flood style bulb then you could just replace your bulb...

    Halogen light to lED?

    Hi Newton4Mark, That is good to know that you are not opposed to upgrading the complete fixture, since a halogen bulb cannot be upgraded with an LED bulb as the bases are different. My suggestion is the PureLine PureColors LED Color Changing Light Fixture. The reason I like the PureColors is...

    Pool light always leaks

    Hi FWB, I would agree with JoyFul Noise at an age of 23 years it would probably be best to replace the entire light fixture. I really like the PureColors Color Changing LED Light Fixtures as there in the $400 - $500 range. The other good thing about the PureColors Lights are if the bulb ever...

    LED lighting questions

    Hi PayneMikej, There should not be a difference in leaking between a LED light fixture and standard light fixture as in most cases the only difference is the bulb inside the light fixture. I would suggest that the builder use flex pipe when attaching the conduit to the back of the light niche...

    Starite Supermax VS pump

    Re: Starite Supermax VS pump Hi sktn77a, I could check to see if the pumps used the same impeller or different impellers, but do you have access to a 343000 or a 342000 pump as that model was discontinued in 2014? As CJadmec stated "Any "new" pump with this model number will have been sitting...

    Re: Starite Supermax VS pump Everything CJadamec said is spot on... the 000 was rated at 1.65 True HP where the 001 is rated at a 2.2 True HP. I was able to dig up the specs on the 342000 from 2014 Pentair Catalog which is listed below.... If you look at the motor on the pump below vs. the...

    filter operation with varaiable speed pump

    Hi Bear, If you are needing to a 115V pump then the Pentair 342001 Pump is a great pump. The only downside is that if it is not installed by a pool professional then the warranty is only 60 days, if you do have a pool professional install the pump then it has a 2 year warranty. I do like the...
