Pentair Products Ranked

For in-ground pools that need a bit more than a 1.5 HP pump, especially ones replacing an old WhisperFlo, where a simple keypad pump is enough.

For large pools or pools with spas and water features, where an owner wants app control and constant-flow filtering without buying an automation system.

For ordinary in-ground pools replacing a 1 to 1.5 HP pump, by owners who want app control and constant-flow filtering built into the pump.

A plain, efficient variable-speed swap for a 1 to 1.5 HP pump on an ordinary in-ground pool, for owners happy to set three speeds on the keypad.

For pools that need a pump with built-in safety vacuum release (SVRS), such as single-drain pools where code calls for one; otherwise the IntelliFlo3 VSF is the more efficient choice.

Only for large or feature-heavy pools on 2.5 to 3 in plumbing that need more flow than a 3 HP IntelliFlo3 can give.

A strong pick for a typical in-ground pool with Pentair automation, backed by one of the longest compressor warranties.

For large pools or pool-and-spa setups that need a lot of heat from one single-phase unit, ideally on Pentair automation.

For a large pool in a hot climate that needs cooling as well as heat, on Pentair automation.
