It draws water through the suction port and discharges it under pressure to the filtration and circulation system. On high head configurations, the impeller geometry is optimised to develop greater pressure head — suited to installations with elevated resistance such as longer pipe runs, elevated equipment, or high-resistance filter systems. A worn, cracked, or clogged impeller results in reduced flow, loss of prime, and increased motor load. Replacing with the correct OEM impeller restores rated hydraulic performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePentair Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eC5-249\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eHigh Head Impeller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHorsepower Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e5 HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eEach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFits Into\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEquipment Line\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003ePentair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eD Series Medium\/High Head\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eDMJ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eHigh Head 5 HP impeller; design change effective 6\/97\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompatibility is based on Pentair parts documentation and available OEM records.

If your pump was manufactured prior to June 1997, cross-reference the part number in your equipment's exploded parts diagram to confirm this is the correct post-change replacement for your specific unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-04-03 --\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53912383881491,"sku":"C5-249","price":713.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/pentair-high-head-impeller-5-hp-d-series-medium-high-head-c5-249-5.webp?v=1779476133","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/pentair_c5-249","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
