Pentair Intelliflo XF pump

[BobVila]

Hi guys

Anyone have good or bad experience with these pumps (see link below). I have a 25,000 gal pool and looking at installing the Pentair 022056 which has been discontinued. Because of this, I can get it new for under $1500 and also get a $450 rebate from my utility company. Pentair says they would honor the full 3 year warranty if installed by a professional. I’m just worried about availability of parts moving forward. Seems like a smart purchase only if the parts are interchangeable with the newer intelliflo models. Thoughts?

A great pump. Slightly less efficient than the Intelliflo3, but not enough to not get the XF.
Parts are readily available. To be honest, you rarely needs 'parts' for these pumps. They last a long time and if a drive or motor fails, it is more cost efficient to get a new complete pump.

Okay thanks. If I end up replacing the pump this seems like a no-brainer then. Over $1000 cheaper than the intelliflo3…
