011533 WhisperFlo VST Variable Speed Pool Pump, 2.6 THP

Unfortunately I had to replace my whisperflo that was only a few years old . They no longer sell that model. This variant speed model is very efficient and very quiet. My pool looks so pretty.

Pentair makes great products, and this one is no exception. The warranty for an online purchase is 6 months, but it is extended to 12 months when a qualified pool technician installs this pump. Programming is easy. The two unions you need do not come with this item and must be ordered separately. It shipped well in double boxes with foam inserts, no scratches. I saved $800 buying this item online rather than from a pool store!

Runs like a champ. Super quiet.

This is a really good pump. My pool plumber thinks that the WhisperFlo is the best pump made and that more features are not worth the money. It is quiet, it's is well constructed and really pumps well. My infinity pool surface is 10 ft above the pump with 4 jets and two skimmers plus the infinity basin drain and it really does the job. Great pump for the price.

We bought this pump in Oct 2025, we ran it 2 weeks before closing our pool for the winter. This Spring we went to open the pool the the pump is not working. It won't turn over when you push the button and it says priming but nothing happens. We believe the magnets became disconnected inside and are jamming the rotor.

Works great, very efficient and quiet but still has the power for the hot tub when needed

Would be a 5 except I installed myself because it was a direct replacement and I guess that makes it where I can not register for the warranty.

Two months in and love it so far. This is the first variable speed pump I’ve owned and I’m excited to see lower electric use. The low speed/long run time setting keeps the pool cleaner as the skimmer pulls floating debris in before it sinks. I installed it myself. The manual is clear and simple to follow. It probably took me an hour to set up.
