About This Item
The Pentair C1-271PZ is the OEM replacement diffuser for the Max-E-Pro Series and IntelliPro Series inground pumps, specifically covering 3 HP TEFC and 1-1/2 HP 200/400V configurations.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: VERIFY YOUR MODEL BEFORE ORDERING
This diffuser fits specific Max-E-Pro and IntelliPro models — including 3 HP TEFC and 1-1/2 HP 200/400V variants. Confirm your pump's model number and horsepower rating against the Fits Into table below before ordering. Multiple diffuser part numbers exist across the Max-E-Pro and IntelliPro lines.
The diffuser directs water flow from the impeller into the pump's volute, converting rotational velocity into pressure. A cracked, worn, or incorrectly fitted diffuser reduces hydraulic efficiency, causes cavitation noise, and can lead to premature impeller and seal wear. Replacing a damaged diffuser restores designed flow performance and protects downstream pump components.

Pro Tip
Multiple diffusers exist across the Max-E-Pro and IntelliPro pump families — horsepower rating and motor configuration (standard vs. TEFC, voltage) determine which part number applies. Before ordering, locate the model number label on your pump housing and cross-reference it against the Fits Into table above. The C1-271PZ is specifically catalogued for models 345079 and P6R62F3-188 as the diffuser for 3 HP TEFC and 1-1/2 HP 200/400V variants. If your model number does not appear in the table, verify against your pump's parts diagram before purchasing.
