is this really a 1/2 HP model? Liberty literature for this model # says it's a 1HP model

I wish is was a 1 HP pump but I am pretty sure the one I received has a 1/2 HP pump in it, at least the literature that came with it says it's a 1/2 HP. I have not acturally looked inside at the spec label on the pump but I have looked at the pump from outside and it looks like the size of a 1/2 HP pump. It's too small for a 1 HP pump. Plus a 1 HP grinder pump purchased just by its self would cost you at least $600 or $700.

Believe is 1.5 hp but do know it has a 5 year warranty. Had ours for over a year with no problems or issues.

I use a 1.5 HP pump. I am not certain of a min. pump spec, but feel certain that 1HP would be sufficient, also.

Do you have 2 inch pipes or 1 1/2 inch? If you have 2 inch you need a 2 hp. If you have 1 1/2 it will work beautiful.

The ohms law answer is incorrect. Manufacturers always use a current rating in their UL safety application which is much higher than the devices actual usage. A better way to calculate the wattage is to work backwards from the horsepower. There are 746W to 1HP, so a 1/2 HP motor will use 372W.

Yes, it is Dimensional direct replacement It does not bog down as often as a 1/2 HP. Fully satisfied

I think its 3/4 horsepower or 1 HP....it is a very good setup. the pump is very powerful regardless of the HP. Had an older 3/4 HP and it never pumped like this one. Hope it helphelps

1/5 HP. It is great a great pump. I use it mostly for home use servicing my cars. But it would work fine for home systems. It is not really built (nor does it cost) for commercial work. Here is a link to the Operators Manual; http://catalog.otctools.com/newcatalog/products/555562_E.pdf

Yes a 1 hp pump is fine. The filter comes with a flow restrictor disc so if your pump exceeds the recommended gpm the disc compensates for that. It's explained in the owners manual.

I am not sure,I did buy it to use with my 1/2 HP,but I checked the amps on my pump first. I havent tried it yet

The 14S (as well as 14SW and 14SC) has a 1-HP motor, (not 1/2 HP mentioned in the previous answer to this question).

For your calculations it is generally accepted 1 HP = 745.7 Watts. If you do the math, you are well under 1500 Watts. Now, the only issue is the startup current for your motor since it will take more on startup than on running. According the the chart link attached, this is about 19.5 Amps at running load. Startup amps are more for a brief period. See http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/electrical-motor-hp-amps-d_1455.html

DW621, as it is variable speed with soft start and thus, 2 hp instead of 1.75.

I recently ordered and received the 2 HP motor. The 2 HP looks very similar to the 2/4 HP. As long as the specs are for the motor you want, I don't see a problem. The motor was received on schedule and in new condition. I was completely satisfied with their service. They also included a new pump shaft seal that is needed for the installation. Hope this helps.

Hi Brian! If my calculations are correct... I am calculating about 1/10 HP. This was derived from the following: The manufacturer states on their website that the output of the motor at 50 RPM is 8.5 lb-ft of torque. The equation for rotational torque-horsepower relationship is HP= torque (in lb-ft) times Speed (in RPM) all divided by 5252. HP=(torque x rpm)/5252= .081 HP. I am pretty much certain this is correct. If not, please all chime in and let me know! Thanks!

Ours is a 2 hp. Verify the model number off the Jandy website. Hope this helps.

No its not a full 3/4 horsepower. Its 3/4 peak horsepower, meaning at full RPM with no obstructions to slow the RPM down, it will be close to a full 3/4. But as soon as obstructions take place, it will lower in H.P.
