Above Ground Pool Pump, 1.5HP/0.35HP, Dual Speed Swimming Pool Pump, High 110 GPM 54 ft Lift, Low 52 GPM 14 ft Lift, 110V 3450 RPM with Strainer Basket, 122°F Max Water Temp, for Hot Tubs Spas

This is a nice pump. The "wet end" of the pump is quality. The motor appears strong and quiet. To net it out, I returned it. Out of the box, the high speed worked, but the low speed didn't. Using their cord and just connecting water, low speed would only hum. This is the same circuit that powered our hayward pump just fine. And since it drew 10 amps on high power, it should have easily drawn 3 amps on low power. Manual was no help. I was going to give 5 stars because it appears to just be a random manufacturing defect and doesn't speak to the overall quality. However, I also had an issue trying to connect a male pipe thread (MPT) to barb fitting to attach a hose, using the inside threads on intake and outlet. It seemed to be designed for an o-ring. I emailed them to just ask them what o-ring size it took, since there was no info I found anywhere about o-ring size, certainly not in the manual which was absolutely minimal. They sent me what I felt was a snippy email back saying they couldn't find the order for "warrantee service". But I wasn't asking them for a seal, just for info on what size to use.... I returned it to amazon. And bought a competing brand that seems to be using the same wet end. By the way, I bought several o-ring sizes and found that 52OD-45ID-3.5Width seems to seal well and is easily available on Amazon. I'm thinking 50OD-44ID-3Width would also work well, maybe even better, but is much harder to find. It may also depend on the exact design of the thread-barb fitting. Don't overtighten, grease with silicone grease before tightening. The brief time we ran it on high power, both inlet and outlet and no leaks, no sucking air on intake. Their own fittings, supplied with the pump, are for glued pvc and a cap that screws onto the fittings using the outside threads, which was not the attachment approach we chose to use.

Worst purchase ever! Avoid, avoid, avoid!! There is a rubber oring in the lid that easily slips leading to lid leak but our product was 100% damaged and leaking from the main pump and we noticed that 2 days later. (Which would maybe explain why the pump has hardly any power) Hoping for a full refund but have read terrible reviews everywhere on that as well.
