Asia Connection LLC, which imports most products from China, sells the identical pumps through various distributors.[1] The pumps are sold by:
- CaliMar
- CircuPool
- Black & Decker
- Blue Torrent
The pump is variable speed, 220V only, comes in 1.5 HP, 2HP and 3HP models, has a built-in control panel, and is Energy Star certified.
All of these pumps show the same Energy Star partner with identical specs. Compare photos and look at manuals for each you can find. You'll see the same diagrams, parts, and instructions.
Warranty's vary by the distributor:
- CaliMar - 1 year
- CircuPool - 3 year pump/1 year motor warranty
- Black & Decker - 5 years
- Blue Torrent
Parts are available for the CaliMar Pump that members believe can be used to repair the other models.
CircuPool has the SmartFlo Interface Kit that seems to work with all the pump and operates a SmartFlo's motor with a 3rd party automation system such as the Hayward Goldline Pro Logic, Pentair Easytouch, Jandy Aqualink, and Intermatic controls using available high voltage relays. The Circupool automation board is completely compatible with the Calimar pump and allows for control of the speeds with Aqualink relays.[2]
CircuPool SmartFlo Automatic Adapter can select up to 3 speeds using a relay in the automation system for each speed. Speeds are set on the pump control panel, not in the automation system.
