Product details

The Waterway PD-165 is the 1.65 HP Power Defender, a variable speed in ground pool pump built around energy efficiency and a motor that shrugs off the environment it sits in.

The motor

Construction is totally enclosed, with a powerful external fan pulling heat away while the enclosure keeps dirt and moisture off the windings. That combination is why the motor runs cool. Once powered, the pump selects 230V or 115V by itself, and Waterway states there is no drop in horsepower at either voltage.

Fitting it to an existing pad

The Power Defender lines up with both Super Pump and IntelliFlo plumbing, which is the reason it is a common swap on older pads. Two self aligning unions are included, and a base for IntelliFlo comes with the pump. The listing also notes that the adjustable base kit is sold separately, so check which base your pad calls for before you order.

Water side details

The pump is pressure rated up to 50 PSI and uses silicon carbide Viton shaft seals for wear and chemical resistance. Freeze protection is built in, and the pump is D.O.E. and C.E.C. compliant, which matters where variable speed is required by code on new installations.

Either. The pump automatically selects the voltage once powered to 230V or 115V, and Waterway states there is no drop in horsepower at either voltage.
Will it line up with my existing plumbing?
Waterway designed it to line up with both Super Pump and IntelliFlo plumbing, and it ships with two self aligning unions.
Does a base come with it?
The listing states the pump comes with a base for IntelliFlo, and separately notes that the adjustable base kit is sold separately. Both are given here, so confirm which base your installation needs.

Variable speed pumps are at their quietest on lower speeds, and this one uses a totally enclosed motor with an external cooling fan, which Waterway describes as ultra quiet operation.
