## Description

Pentair 342001 SuperFlo VS Variable Speed Pool Pump, 1 1/2 Horsepower, 115/208-230 Volt, 1 Phase - Energy Star Certified

Review: Nice variable speed programmable pool pump - Nice unit; fairly quiet. Easy to program for various speeds over various time periods. Easy to get started manually if needed. A lot more powerful than the pump I replaced while consuming noticeably less energy than the old one.
Review: Excellent Quality, Excellent Value!!! Simple to install. - I've had this in use now for almost 6 months. My father was an electrician, and later an Electrical Engineer, so I grew up learning quite a bit about electricity and electronics. I've installed several pool pumps in my life (I live in Florida and have had 4 pools in over 30 years). This was by far the easiest pump installation of them all; the pump determines all aspects of polarity, voltage and frequency. Just be sure to ground/bond the system. I use a salt generator to chlorinate the pool. The previous installation used a master timer to control and power both the salt generator and the pump simultaneously. As this system comes with an integral timer, I left the salt generator on the master timer and used the factory default programming on the pump. All I can say is "WOW". Most of the time you can't tell if this is running because it's so quiet, and it functions flawlessly. The single draw back to this purchase is that the manufacturer does not honor the warranty if you install the pump yourself. As a result, I purchased the warranty marketed by desertcart thru Asurion. I seldom buy additional warranties, but my previous pump didn't last more than about 3 years and I'd paid more for it than this. Further, I'd never been able to get it to prime at low speeds and trying to figure out a work around when it started after a power failure proved too difficult so I never ran it at low speed (that pump was a two speed pump, both speeds pre-set by the manufacturer, Eco Pump). This pump with it's manufacturers default programming always starts at high speed for 5 minutes to insure it primes. The pump will eventually pay for itself with the money saved by running a such low speed for most of the day.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this pump save me money?  Why does it reduce the energy cost by up to 80%?  Does it change speeds based on flow feedback?**
A: The pump has a variety of speeds. It is programmable. When mine turns on, it is programmed at high speed for 30 minutes to clear the surface and get the water moving. My pool man programmed it for me to drop to 30% for the next 5 hours. That saves me $$. Now if I'm having people over to swim, i can hit a quick clean button to clear the surface again. The longer i can keep the pump running at less than full power the more money I save.

**Q: My 1hp pump went out and heard a variable speed pump is the way to go when replacing it. is it ok to go up to a 1.5 hp**
A: Variable speed pumps can be set to handle different flows to accommodate pipe size, I use this pump to replace a 1.5 HP pool filter pump (2" pipe)and a 1 HP spa jets pump (1-1/2" pipe). Just program the speed (RPM) to accommodate the use and the flow of the pipe sizes.
By only running the pump at the design capacity of the plumbing, noise is reduces to a wiper and it actually uses about half the energy that the original pump uses (in my case 400 watts vs 800 for the spa, yours may be different).
All the speed in both pumps are set lower than 3000 RPM. No issues vacuuming (cleaning) and the Jets are quite strong in the spa). 
If you can effort the extra cost variable speed pumps are more versatile and they don't destroy their self by running full speed.

**Q: Is this a self priming pump?**
A: yes after your first operation annually each morning it runs for 5 minutes at high speed and primes itself.  I have never started spring without pouring water in the pot as I always did with my previous pump.  Never after that even after cleaning the debris bucket do I prime again.

**Q: Will this pump be sufficient for a 11,000 gallon pool which has a pv3 in-floor pool cleaning system? i currently have hayward sp3215ee tristar 1.5hp**
A: I don't have the PV3 cleaning system.
In my opinion this pump outperforms all single speed 1.5 HP pumps if programmed right (60 to 100 GPM depending on TDH).
I reprogrammed the "Quick Clean" function for swiping the pool clean, I imaging that in your case after the nozzles lift, then you can set the speed  of the pump for optimal flow, energy savings and noise comfort.
Because the regular programming uses a lower RPM in the second stage to save energy, that flow may not have enough to allow your system to work properly, unless you also reprogram that cycle phase and time.
During the setup of my pump, I needed to lower the recommended RPM of the pump to get the right flow for my 1-1/2" piping, that saves even more energy and make the pump almost silent. 
My settings for filtering the water 2400, 1400, 2400 RPM (2, 4, 2 hours) 
For sweeping the pool the pool 3000 RPM 1 hour (Quick Clean)
This is the best pump I ever owned (single speed vs variable speed comparison) and a more powerful pump in my and case, only my case, is not needed or wanted.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product
*by W***. on January 25, 2021*

I was hesitant about getting a VS pump but felt it should be considered. After over 6 hours of research and puring over power usage data, performance and various manufacturers I dedided on the Pentair 342001. The only issue I found with Pentair was the professional installation requirement for the full warranty, but did not want to pay the inflated price of $300.00 +. I have been a DIY guy my whole life and a good background with pools and electrical so I figured to give it a go. Decided to do my own install and purchase the Amazon extended warranty to cover what would be the "normal" Pentair warranty. The install was very easy. Had to replumb some PVC pipe using the best heavy duty glue available at HD. The power was connections were SUPER EASY. The Pentair system recognizes your avaialbe power and adjusts itself accordingly. I used adjustable appliance feet to make leveling easier and also to help with vibration of which there is very little anyways with this motor. Performance: Wow what a difference!! This motor is so quite it's hard to know that it is running. My pool filteration system was down for over a week while I gathered data and waited for the unit to arrive so you could see the water was struggling even though I added chlorine to keep it from going swampy on me. Ran the pump for 24 hours at 3000 rpm to while I balanced the chemicals. You could see the difference in in just 12 hours and by 24 hours the water was crystal clear. Changed the DE in the filter and ran it for another 24 hours just to make sure. The volume of water filtered through the system and the exit waterflow back into the pool is amazing. Should have done this a long time ago. No more loud noise and hopefully no more huge electric bills. Put the energy rating at 4 stars becasue I have not been able to gather enough data to see the savings at this point. Will really be able to know by this summer and will update the review.
