The top navigation bars show various pump specifications by horsepower. They are generally ranked by the Creech Pump Index (CPI), which is a measure of their efficiency. It is the average of the gallons per minute (GPM) multiplied by the total dynamic head in feet (TDH), and divided by the watts consumed; GPM x TDH / Watts. Maximum head means the maximum TDH that the pump will shut off at. In other words, if your TDH is greater than the maximum head, the pump will not pump any water at all. Remember that ODP means "open drip proof", which is not really weatherproof. TEFC means totally enclosed fan cooled motors, which are more expensive than ODP motors, are more weatherproof, and will last longer. Service Factor (SF) means that the motors are actually rated for higher horsepower performance. In other words an SF of 1.15 means the motor can actually be run at 1.15 times the horsepower.
