| nothing is free...also it isn'a apples/apples with 300k heater vs. 400k heater. Most on this forum use Pentair or Hayward. In my opinion you won't find a majority of responses all leading you to one brand over another as they all have plusses and minuses so I would go with a person/builder/repair service you trust and get the equipment they are comfortable with. |

| I don't like Jandy heaters, none of them. Fusion is pure hype. The motor for both pumps is the same but the controller for the Jandy limits it to 2 HP while the Pentair allows 3 HP. Plumbing wise, they both allow the same flow to go through but the Pentair normally is set to run at a slower speed and with it's larger impeller, uses less power. As runkatytx said, nothing is free. Is there a light from the Pentair gear equipped PB? How big is the pool? Who are you more comfortable with? Which PB has a better reputation and references? Scott |

| The VS 3050 is an older pump while the VS 011018 has more features and it is currently priced close to the VS 3050 so I would request that pump instead. Just don't let the PB charge any more. |

| Have had the entire jandy package installed for 7 years now. Mostly been very reliable with exception on the chlorine generator. Numerous sensor failures and jandy (zodiac now) wouldn't even acknowledge an issue let alone replace defective parts. 6 years= 2 complete aquapure 1400 systems + 2 additional sensors! Not sure if other companies are any better but jandy didn't seem to be doing anything to generate customer loyality. Heater and other equipment has been very good. Might consider using the new iPad software/controller as very convenient |
