| - This is the second time I've used Phoenix Pool Parts to get my pool pump back in operation. The first time I opted for a rebuilt 1.5hp that they installed in my old casing. It ran fine for about 18 months and the motor shorted out. My pool runs 365 days a year at 7-10 hours per day, depending on outside temperature.
The second time I went back in, I opted for the rebuilt pump Hayward Northstar assembly, new o rings, shaft seal, impeller. I also opted to have a brand new 1.5hp motor installed in the pump. This motor has a one year warranty.
The only rub was when I brought the pump home and hooked it up, which takes all of 10 minutes, I'm good at it. It leaked and the motor was a little noisy. I called Phoenix Pool Parts the next day. The day after that, they showed up with another rebuilt Hayward Northstar pump casing, but this one was marked "Platinum Flow". A brand new 1.5hp motor (which actually makes 1.95hp) was installed.
I quickly hooked this pump up. And I was amazed. The motor was whisper quiet and this Hayward "Platinum Flow" series pump really moves a lot of water in and out of my pool. I was amazed at the difference. I would imagine this model has a more efficient impeller.
One of the biggest killers of these pool pumps mounted is the direct sunlight, especially when it's 120 degrees outside. I have mounted an umbrella over this pump and all it's plumbing to keep it in constant shade and lower the heat it operates in.
I'm really happy with this company and will use them again if required in the future
