It is listed under the ENERGY STAR 2.0 pool pump specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotor and hydraulics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe permanent magnet motor runs cooler and quieter than an induction motor and is totally enclosed and fan cooled, so the windings are protected from dust and damp on the pad. The diffuser and impeller are matched to move water at low speed with as little power and noise as possible, which is where a variable speed pump spends most of its life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWet end\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBody parts are thick walled, corrosion-proof reinforced thermoplastic. The shaft is stainless steel and the mechanical seal uses carbon to ceramic faces. The strainer basket is oversized, and the see-through lid comes off and locks back on with a quarter turn, so a basket check takes seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth ports are 2 in. threaded.
