Pentair Whisperflo XF

Pentair says the new WhisperFlo XF high performance pump is their most powerful and efficient yet released.

The new WhisperFlo XF pool pump was developed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA).

The proprietary impeller design delivers a higher level of precision concentricity for increased efficiency. The proprietary hydraulic isolator smooths the water flow inside the volute, raising the efficiency even higher. With capabilities in excess of 750lpm, WhisperFlo XF is an ideal choice for many residential and commercial applications; especially those involving water features, negative edges and slides.

Features include:

* New upgraded dual-compartment motor for simplified field wiring;

* New hydraulic isolator separates priming water from pumping water for faster priming, more turbulence-free flow and increased efficiency;

* New union connectors included for connecting directly to 65mm or 80mm plumbing;

* Diamond seals made of oxidation-resistant, self-retaining EPDM rubber for increased durability and tighter seal;

* Extra-large, robust basket with smooth surface for easy debris removal;

* Drop-in replacement for original WhisperFlo; and optional riser plate enables easy Challenger replacement;

* Modular plumbing system means less need to cut and glue pipe;

* External port-threading and tool-free union nuts need only hand-tightening;

* Easy-carry handle; easily removable, ergonomic lock ring; and see-through lid for easy basket inspection.
