Why it matters
The Smart 45 uses a permanent-magnet motor and inverter to adjust speed to demand, holding constant pressure across the house. Aquastrong lists up to 1,500 GPH and 150 ft of head, with a stainless steel impeller for water up to 175 F.
A maintenance-free pressure tank, stainless connectors and an outlet check valve are built in, and the control panel shows faults such as dry running, leaks, blockage and sensor failure. Aquastrong puts it at 55 dB(A).
