Booster Pump - Purchase Recommendations

[ktr32]

Hi Everyone,

I need some help. I am planning on replacing my existing Booster Pump a Pentair Boost Rite (LA-MS05). The pool store recommended the Pentair LA01N. I have read the various thread on robot vs booster and not ready to make that switch yet. I also read this thread Booster Pumps - Further Reading.

Now I am trying to find a good price on the unit and also open to other options. PoolPlaza.com came up in my search and they had 2 units with different manufacturer SKUs with a price difference of $120.

• LA01N-DUP --> $449
• EC-LA01N --> $569

Here are my questions:

• It seems like the same unit, but curious if anyone knows what the difference between the units?
• I am looking for recommendations on the best site to order the booster pump from?

Thanks,
ktr32

The standard for booster pumps, and look at the price (less than can be obtained through my wholesale distributors) :
