Astralpool - Sena Pump 1.25 HP Mono.

I have this pump under my pool in Spain. Model 25465 moves about 13 cubic meters of water per hour, and at 1 horsepower I get nice strong jets of water from my skimmer nozzles. The waste basket is easy to access, and the 'O' Ring is fairly easy to put in it's groove before replacing the clear plastic, bayonet fit, plastic cap. It is self priming, too, which makes like easier. Mine is fairly quiet but I don't know what a noisy pump sounds like. If left for a while the motor doesn't like turning over (it hums) but it's easy to prise off the end cap and spin the fan blades by hand to free the motor. All in all, a good little pump and very good value for money .
