"What is 'max head'?"
Max head is the maximum height the pump can pump vertically. If you need to pump higher than that, we recommend that you purchase a bigger pump.
"What is the difference between the ODP and TEFC motors?"
The following information is a summary of the two different types of motors offered with Performance Pro Pumps:
ODP MOTORS: An ODP enclosure on a motor means "Open, Drip Proof". ODP motors are relatively inexpensive motors used in normal applications. The construction of an ODP motor consists of a sheet metal enclosure with vent stamped to allow good air flow. The vents are designed in such a way that water dripping on the motor will not normally flow into the motor. A fan is mounted on the motor's rear shaft to pull air through the motor to keep the motor cool.
TEFC MOTORS: A TEFC enclosure on a motor means "Totally Enclosed, Fan Cooled".
This motor is probably the most commonly used motor in ordinary industrial environments. It costs only a few dollars more than the open motor, yet
offers good protection against common hazards. The motor is constructed with a small fan on the rear shaft of the motor, usually covered by a housing. This fan draws air over the motor fins, removing excess heat and cooling the motor. The enclosure is "Totally Enclosed". This ordinarily means that the motor is dust tight, and has a moderate water seal as well.
