The new Sta-Rite OptiFlo pump has exceptionally quiet operation and high-flow performance. Constructed of Sta-Rite’s rugged thermoplastic resin, it features a large 5-1/2 in. capacity trap and an all-weather, smooth-running motor. The new Department of Energy (DOE) regulations are driving higher minimium efficiency standards in the industry, so Pentair has made the new OptiFlo pump the first to use the Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled (TEFC) Motor, to save the most electricity possible and optimize hydraulic horsepower, all without sacrificing performance.
The enhanced OptiFlo single-speed pump gives above ground pool owners a high-performance, low maintenance, easy-to-operate way to meet the DOE’s energy efficiency requirements - and provides a long, trouble-free life.
Features:
Noisier than my previous Hayward and filter basket doesn't stay in place when closing top lid. But really efficient! More flow than my previous 1.5HP pump
