This page is intentionally secondary to the manual page and exists to provide review-oriented context.

The BLACK+DECKER Variable Speed Pool Pump is a highly efficient pump that comes with a filter basket and is Energy Star Certified to cut energy costs. It has low speed options for thorough filtration and permanent magnet technology to increase efficiency. The easy programming touch pad allows for optimal speeds and exclusive self-diagnostics to keep performance high. The enclosed unit protects the motor year-round and provides quiet and cooler operation. The pump has both 1.5" and 2" port sizes and is easy to install.
