This is the exact same make/model that was hard connected to my system, a Pentair pool pump motor. The hoses and quick disconnects we easy to hook up after a quick trip to Pentair pool pump for glue, primer and a couple connectors. There are two things to be aware of:

• The quick disconnects are easy to cross thread, so be sure to line up the compression nut.
• Don't tighten the compression nut too tight or you will pinch through the hose. That's not a big deal, just shorten the flex line a little and reconnect. It doesn't take that much pressure on the compression nut to get a good seal on the hose.

After two weeks so far so good, motor runs well and is quiet, instructions do not explain how to connect the hoses to your system, only to the motor, but if you maintain your own equipment it's not hard to figure it out. The packaging could be improved as the capacitor cover on the top was knocked off in transport but it could be screwed back on without any apparent damage. It does not come with the electrical elbow connector so you may need to buy a new one if like mine was over 15 years old and damaged (only cost about $3 from Home Depot). I just hope it runs for 15 years like the old one, we will see.

Original Pentair pool pump went out and the unit quickly arrived in less than 3 days. It was very easy to install and works great. I would recommend this product and will use this channel to replace my other pool components when needed.
