Known for long lasting reliability and easy maintenance. Because it is magnetically driven, it does not have drive seals that leak and cause bearings to fail which can be an issue for pool pumps. Most consider this pump to be top of the line.
Gravity fed means the pipe feeding the pump solution must be below the top solution line in the tank because the pump does not create its own suction.
Pentair Superflo
15 amp
Self priming pump
(suction)Requires 15 amp/115 volts
Rated 10 amps at 115 volts
Operates on 115/230 volts
Quiet pump

This energy efficient and quiet pump has served the industry for many years. Parts are common, repair videos are available, and the price makes it affordable to have a spare on hand. With routine maintenance this pump usually has a solid life span.
Self priming means the pipe can go above the top solution line in the tank and the pump will create its own suction to pull the solution up into the pump.
