Regarding Your Pump Order – Motor Label Explanation
You may notice that the pump you received has a higher horsepower (HP) rating on the
motor label than expected. Rest assured, you have received the correct pump. Here's
why:
● THP (Total Horsepower) reflects the motor's potential power at the shaft, not
the exact operating output.
● HHP (Hydraulic Horsepower) measures the performance of the wet end, the
part that moves water.
● A motor's THP may be higher to ensure optimal performance and efficiency for
the wet end, even if their ratings don't match exactly.
The motor and wet end are appropriately matched to deliver the correct performance for
your system.
