Product details
The Pentair 400011Z is the diffuser for the 5 HP WhisperFlo XF and Max-E-Pro XF inground pool pumps. It is the genuine Pentair part.
What the diffuser does
The diffuser sits over the impeller in the wet end and converts the spinning flow leaving the impeller into steady pressure heading out of the pump. It is also what lets the pump hold prime. When it cracks, warps or wears at its sealing face, the pump becomes noisy, loses pressure and struggles to prime, and the impeller usually takes the blame.
Getting the right one
XF diffusers are matched to horsepower. This is the 5 HP part, so check the rating on your motor plate before ordering. Since the wet end is already open when the diffuser is changed, it is a sensible time to look at the impeller and the seal as well.
