Hello,
I purchased a Hayward Max Flo Vs 4 years ago to replace the 20 year old working single speed pump on my pool. Last summer it developed a leak which ended up rusting the motor bearings. No one by me can repair it for a reasonable cost and it seems the only alternative is a new pump. I've been to the local pool stores by me and these are the options they are giving me:
-Aqua Technix/Speck Unifit III1.65. Rep said they dropped Hayward after multiple failures. Performance curve is slightly better than thr Hayward. The pump weighs about 3x the amount of my current Hayward and they were touting the build quality and the 3 year warranty. This pump qualifies for a rebate and will be about $900 self install
Jacuzzi 1.65 VS - Rep didnt seem to know much about this pump other than it is 'equivalent to Hayward and Jacuzzi is working hard to be a top player in the pool pump area'. This pump doesnt qualify for rebate and it $939 self install.
Pentair - spoke over the phone and didnt get a model number off hand. Some pentairs qualify for rebate by me but he wasnt sure if this one did. Said price was 1000 but if it did qualify, it would be 650. Self install voids warranty and some reviews I've read dont seem greqt.
Hayward max-flo 1.65 vs. This is the pump I currently have and replacement is 800 after rebate. While I liked this pump when I had it (wish the control board had more options for scheduling), I'm reluctant to buy another just to have it go out after it is past warranty. Seems insane that they are unrepairable or the repair will cost almost as much as a new pump.
Unfortunately the place closest to me doesnt seem to have a very knowledgeable rep so the information I have is lacking. I'm going back today to get my old pump and find exact model numbers for comparison. I think I'm between the Aqua technix/speck pump and a Pentair but I have to narrow down which pentair qualifies for the rebate and which one is available. Here is my rebate list if it helps: https://www.psegliny.com/saveenergyandmoney/-/media/57C07A6DE3974E6D845F975636218BD3.ashx
Thanks for the help!
