Pump Features

• Reinforced precision-moulded impeller, provides extra
high-head performance
• Single piece moulded body for added strength and
longer life
• Rapid-priming diffuser quickly corrects loss of water flow
• Continuous-duty rated motor at 2850 rpm
• Large capacity basket with easily removed lid
• Quick and easy disassembly for servicing
• Operating temperatures: 2 to 50°C air, 2 to 35°C water
• Protection index: IPX4
The CTX-Series pumps provide high head pressure to move
water through the pool filter, salt chlorinator, in-floor cleaning
systems, or multi-jet spas. Energy efficient. Infrequent
cleaning needed thanks to a large hair and lint pot.
The XP-Series pump offers high head pressure, energy-
efficient operation. Runs cool and quiet. The large hair and
lint pot needs infrequent cleaning.
The XF-Series pump is designed for flooded suction
without the need for a hair and lint pot. Smaller-horsepower
XF models are perfect for low-flow applications such as
booster pump, solar pump, above-ground pool pump, or
heating system circulating pump. The larger-horsepower XF
models are suitable for the high-flow needs of swim jets or
multi-jet spas.
The E-Series pump provides low cost performance and
reliability for all pools and spas up to 100,000 litres.
