| The Jandy FloPro pool pump is quickly becoming the best universal replacement pump on the market. This pump is the latest pump from Jandy and boasts that it is both energy efficient and simple to replace while still giving you maximum performance. |
| To get an idea of what is comparable to the FloPro pump we would have to look at the Pentair SuperFlo, Pentair WhisperFlo and Hayward SuperPump. All of these are comparable models but out of all four of them, the FloPro comes out on top. The FloPro comes in a single speed or dual speed model and produces a higher GPM (gallon per minute) than the other three comparable pumps.... |

Staying true to the tradition of making reliable and efficient swimming pool pumps, the Pentair Whisperflo pump stays true to its roots. Being engineered from high-temperature, thermoplastic materials, the Whisperflo can withstand extreme heat and resist corrosion. The motor itself is built using a stainless steel motor shaft and sealed bearings, so no need for lubrication. The pump sits on a rust proof commercial grade motor frame, this are all the makings of a rock solid pool pump. |
| You would think that with all this industrial reinforcement, the pump would be a loud, noisy machine but that’s absolutely wrong. The Whisperflo is so quiet you can compare it any other high performance pump and see that the Whisperflo lives up to its name. |

| Your pool pump is a crucial piece to your filtration system, but most people would think that the more horsepower the better. This is not true; if you have a properly sized pump you will avoid excess wear on your other equipment and avoid wasting electricity. There are a few variables that play into choosing the right size pump for your pool and were going to go over them. |
 |
| The first thing you want to determine is how many hours you want your pump to take to circulate all the water in the pool, this is called the “turnover time”. An ideal turnover rate is 8 – 10 hours so in this example were going to look for an 8 hour turnover time. Once we have your desired turnover time we need to find the minimum flow rate to achieve that turnover time. The equation for finding your GPM (gallons per minute) is: |
Pool size (gallons) / Turnover time / 60 = Minimum flow rate...
