We are using the Doheny 1 1/2 hp pump in a non-standard way, but it seems to be doing extremely well. So well in fact that we are ordering two more; one for a backup and one for a second system. The non-standard use? Greenhouse aquaponics. We are using this pump as a circulating pump for essentially a 3,300 gallon aquarium (or even a pond). We are raising a fish called a tilapia and circulating the (not very clean) water to plants in vertical towers, grow beds and bato buckets. The pump has been running 24/7 for 9 months now without a problem. We only shut it off once or twice a week for about ten minutes to clean the filter. The basket is pretty easy to clean with a small brass bristle tooth brush (we get a lot of algae and other fun stuff in it). It is very quiet compared to the Intex pumps we were using that didn't last very long at all. The cord gets warm and a little soft which might indicate the wire needs to be bigger but so far it hasn't developed any issues. The pump is open, inside the greenhouse, but it does run fairly warm; almost too warm to the touch. The garter snakes sure seem to like it. Water temps go from about 55 or so in the winter to 85 degrees in the summer.It gets up to 100 degrees air temp or so at times, especially in the summer. We use a 90% shade cloth over the fish tanks and pool (one of those Intex 12 foot by two foot metal pole ones) and the pump is under that also for about eight months of the year. We are at an elevation of about 5,500 feet, have five IBC tanks, the pool, a couple of solar collectors (1/2" CPVC pipe over a metal back in a five-by-eight foot two by four box), ten buckets, eight three-foot vertical towers, a 480 gallon aluminum holding tank,three breeding aquariums and six IBC tank-top gravel grow beds. I think the 1 1/2 hp pump has enough oomph to supply even a few more grow beds or towers too.The brushes usually fail on a motor first. Don't know if they can be replaced on this motor but we'll give it a shot when the time comes. It'll void the warranty (which was probably shot right away anyway because of the non-standard use) but warranties don't last forever. The pump, though, is seemingly giving "forever" the old college try so far. However, it's not the warranty that impresses. It's the quality of the item, and this pump so far has it.Update 6/24/20: The pump finally failed after about 4 years running 24/7. The motor seems to be running, but it is not pumping. I haven't taken apart the pump to troubleshoot, but it doesn't look like its plugged. Ran longer than I expected, which is good.

It arrived today. I was so excited. I've had a pool for 7 years but sometimes a pool is very hard to keep especially 27 foot round above ground. my previous pool came with a brand name. The price for that brand was too high. So I reviewed Dohenny's that had great reviews and the price was so affordable at 168.00.Wow!! plugged it in and it's quiet and the suction power was amazing!! The black leaf catch has easy remove cap. At first I forgot to screw it down and tighten it was amazed it did not pop off when I turned it on. I will recommend this brand.1.5 HPexcellent performanceI will definitely shop this brand again for other accessories.

As most products can't really be reviewed up front until you have them for awhile; however, this pump is easy to install and is relatively quiet and produces good pressure (16psi/1.5 HP).

As the title states, 4 stars for a great running and quiet pump. Minus one star for the abnormal pump unions and difficulty of turning the pump sideways and correcting the strainer. Unsure if the strainer was made badly but you can’t take it off the pump. I had to shave down the plastic to get it to rotate 90 degrees back upright after rotating the pump to connect to the filter. You have to use the supplied glue on pipe unions. You can’t go to a pool supply shop and get different unions for this pump, they are an abnormal size, I’m guessing proprietary. I had to completely replumb my entire system for the new pump. Other pumps I’ve replaced have been drop in replacements with the standard union.

Bought to replace an old dead 1.5hp Hayward with a sand filter that just up and died on us last year. Attachments for the hoses came right off the Hayward and fit perfectly onto this new pump. It appears well built, haven't noticed any heat issues, have had no leaks, and I'm honestly impressed with its power and quietness. When you turn it on it eases into a higher speed rather than starting at full blast and it honestly operates very quietly. So far so good!

I was looking at Hayw*rd pumps initially, but then I saw these. They’re much more reasonably priced, and had good reviews. I’ve bought from Doheny’s in the past and thought I’d take a chance on this one.Upon unboxing I saw external threads with 2” couplings. I thought I’d ordered the wrong pump so I read the description and figured out it had internal threads as well. I moved the couplings from the old pump to the new one after Teflon taping the threads and hooked everything up.After priming and turning the pump on, I noticed the water rippling like it did with the old pump when it was new. This thing is strong.It’s only been hooked up and running for about 30 minutes or so, but initially, I like what I’m seeing. It is strong and also quiet. The lid seems to be an upgrade from the other brand and the fit and finish seems to be high quality. Plus, it’s not too hard on the wallet. I appreciate that.If it doesn’t work out so well, I’ll update this review. However, my immediate impression is, I’m glad I found this one.

The Dohenys pump did everything it’s supposed to? It’s an awesome pump so glad I went with it. It’s moving a lot of water. I got the one and a half horse motor. it’s a super quiet, running moving water like it should pretty tempted to buy another one before the prices all go up next year lol

Easy to assemble and install. I'm replacing my Pentair Dynamax pump. This pump has vent holes in the motor, should reduce temp rise and burn up.. I hope I update if it fails early. I'd give it 5 stars if I knew it would last.
