Advice for Replacement Pump

[Medic1077]

I currently have a Jandy system with CL460 cartridge filter, JXI400 heater and the original 2.5hp stealth single speed pump. The bottom of the CL460 filter housing started leaking and the heater core just started leaking. I am going to replace both but would like to replace the single spped pump also. What is the difference between the Jandy epump (VSSHP270DV2A) and the Jandy PlusHP (VSPHP270DV2A)? I'm also yhinking of switching to Pentair Sta-rite System 3 Cartridge Filter.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to TFP.

The first question is what Rev level is your Aqualink and does it support VS pumps?

See Jandy Aqualink RS - Further Reading

You need Rev O or later to have VS pump support.

The two pumps look functionally identical. The PlusHP has a smaller form factor.

Filters are a commodity. They are all basically the same. I would get the Pentair filter since it does not use a Jandy proprietary and expensive to replace air relief valve and PSI gauge.

I ended up finding a good price the Jandy ePump (VSSHP270DV2A) om ebay. Looking at the installation instructions for this pump it appears to internally convert the single phase 220v line feed to 3-phase. None of the other pumps mention this.

All of the VS pumps control VS motors this way.

Why do you care? They need 240V or 120V line power in to work.

I don't. I was just mentioning it in case it helps anyone else searching this thread.
