Category: Sta-Rite Pool Pump

Sta-Rite has been manufacturing pool pumps since the 1930s and remains one of the most widely installed brands in residential pools across North America. Now owned by Pentair, Sta-Rite pumps — including the Dura-Glas, Max-E-Pro, and Pinnacle series — share some components with Pentair models but have their own unique failure patterns, part numbers, and repair procedures.

Sta-Rite single-speed motors are known for durability but the Dura-Glas housing is prone to cracking around the drain plug on older units, and the Max-E-Pro impeller design differs enough from Hayward and Pentair that repairs need model-specific guidance. This section covers diagnosis and repair specific to Sta-Rite pumps, including part number cross-references, motor replacement compatibility, and the specific tools needed for Sta-Rite impeller removal.
