Sta Rite 5P2R Pump

Features

• Self-priming diffuser design
• ‘Hi-Rise’ Mounting Base
• High Head Impeller
  precision molded of glass filled polycarbonate, it provides unusually smooth water passages for outstanding performance and efficiency
• Heavy Duty Motor
  50 Hz motors are designed for continuous and
  quiet operation, feature stainless steel shaft, sealed and permanently lubricated bearings: runs cooler for prolonged life under high ambient conditions.
• Mechanical Seal
  precision lapped and highly polished carbon ceramic stainless steel construction, it assures maximum drip proof corrosionfree protection
• Stainless Steel Pump Champ
  easily removed for quick access to all serviceable components
• ‘See Thru’ trap lid
  designed to withstand 4 bar test pressure as well as high vacuum conditions
• Sta-Rite 5P2R Series pumps are precision molded of fiberglass reinforced, temperature and corrosion-resistant. This lightweight exceptionally
  strong thermoplastic is designed for much higher pressure operation than
  all the rest. Unequaled performance means: higher heads to 22,5 meters
  and flow rates up to 22m3/h.

  The S5P2R series are suitable for water with a salt content up to 0,4% and for water with pH fluctuations (corrosion). The capacity and dimensions are identical to the series 5P2R. Special motor shaft and all inner parts are made from high grade stainless steel or thermoplastic material.

An electrically operated water pump is the prime motivator in recirculating the water from the pool. Water is forced through a filter and then returned to the pool. A typical pool pump uses 500 watts to 2,000 watts. Residential pool pumps are typically run for 4 hours per day in winter (when the pool is not in use) and up to 24 hours in summer. To save electricity costs most people run for between 6 hours and 12 hours in summer with the pump being controlled by an electronic timer.

Some pool pumps have two motor speeds to reduce power consumption at times when full power is not needed. Other pump manufacturers have redesigned their units to use a smaller electric motor with heavier windings, therefore consuming less energy, to power a larger pump impeller. Variable-speed pumps reduce power consumption even more. The slow speed typically cleans better because smaller particles can be filtered. At the slow speed, minimal resistance in the pipes reduces the energy needed to move the water.

Most pool pumps available today incorporate a small filter basket termed a “hair and lint strainer” or “lint pot” as the last effort to avoid leaf or hair contamination reaching the close-tolerance impeller section of the pump
