If you are looking for more power without going to a 220v pump .. this thing is a monster ...I added a pool heater and just needed a little extra power .. to make it for the heater .... this pump has more power than you can imagine ..I guess we will see how long it last .. but for the priceIf I get 1 season would be well worth it !!Ps.. the inlet and outlet a backwards from most pumps ... this discharge comes out the top !!
