Description
Circulate commercial swimming pool water and spa features with high electrical efficiency. The K2 Pumps Pool Pump 1.5 HP variable-speed unit delivers customized water circulation. A permanent-magnet brushless motor drives an enclosed thermoplastic impeller. Programming requirements necessitate setting custom flow rates for specific filtration setups.
Heavy-duty glass-reinforced thermoplastic forms the one-piece pump body, resisting pool chlorine and UV sunlight degradation. A TEFC permanent-magnet motor cuts electrical power draw compared to single-speed motors. The built-in electronic keypad allows selection between distinct RPM speed modes. A large transparent strainer pot shows debris accumulation at a glance. Mechanical carbon ceramic shaft seals block chlorinated water leaks.
Variable Speed Pool Mechanics
Pool maintenance operators program low-speed filtration cycles to reduce commercial facility power costs. The high-efficiency motor meets strict federal energy conservation guidelines.
- Permanent-magnet 1.5-horsepower motor operates on dedicated 230-volt single-phase power
- Variable-speed programming keypad selects optimal RPM speeds between 450 and 3450 RPM
- Glass-reinforced thermoplastic housing resists chemical corrosion from salt and chlorine
- Large clear strainer pot cover allows rapid visual inspection of debris baskets
- Enclosed thermoplastic impeller produces 85 GPM maximum water circulation volume
- TEFC motor enclosure keeps dust and moisture away from electrical components
- Standard 2-inch union connectors simplify rigid PVC pool plumbing installations
Motor Dyno Electrical Telemetry
Dynamometer bench testing demonstrates the motor draws 1.2 Amps at 1000 RPM filtration speed and 7.4 Amps at 3450 RPM clean mode. Water flow stabilizes at 82 GPM at full RPM across a 30-foot dynamic head. Motor casing temperature reaches 122°F after 4 hours of continuous operation. Acoustic telemetry records 48 dBA at low speed and 64 dBA at full speed.
Worksite Performance Practical Notes
You glue standard 2-inch PVC pipe unions straight to the pump ports with plumbing solvent. The digital keypad interfaces smoothly for timer adjustments. Do not operate this pool pump dry without water in the strainer pot. Running without water softens the thermoplastic diffuser and ruins the mechanical shaft seal.
- Fill the strainer pot with water before securing the clear lid during initial startup
- Clean the internal plastic debris basket when leaves restrict fluid intake flow
- Drain the pump body through the bottom freeze plugs before winter temperatures arrive
Commercial Warranty Specifications Manifest
K2 Pumps provides a 2-Year limited manufacturer warranty on the motor and wet end assembly. The shipping package contains the 1.5-horsepower variable-speed pool pump, digital controller, two 2-inch plumbing unions, and complete installation guide.
