Replacement Salt water pool pump and motor

I want to replace my Sta-Rite pool pump Model: Max-E-Pro P6E6-206L.  Motor is Sta-Rite Model: K48L2PA105, 1HP, 1 Phase , 230V, 60Hz.

What is the best drop in direct fit replacement pump and motor (and its hp, service factor rating, and HP)?

What is the inlet height to the center line of the inlet/suction and discharge port s?

Please submit pump curve showing head/psi versus gpm flow rate and any variable speed rpm

Hello Charles1234 - We’d be glad to assist you. We have a drop-in variable speed replacement for your Max-E-Pro. The Sta-Rite Intellipro model P6E6VS4H209L would be an ideal substitute. This is a 3HP pump with a 1.32 service factor. Don’t worry about the higher HP. You won’t need to run this pump on full speed. Below are the dimensional drawings and pump curve.
