I agree on the sta-rite. I just instaled one and am very please. I have several freinds with them and they have had no issues. The pool shop I bought mine from said they have few issues and are easy to work on if needed unlike some other brands such as the Hayward Northstar which is very difficult. I bought a 1hp pump for a 13000 gallon inground play pool and love it. One local shop wanted $500 for a hayward RS and I found the sta-rite at a small local shop for $280. Sta-rite under Pentair lets you know you are getting quality for a reasonable price.
