The Quality Swimflo 2 1.5kW Pool Pump and Motor is a high capacity circulation pump designed for large swimming pool filtration systems. With a 1.5kW motor and suitability for pools up to 100,000 litres, it is built for pool owners who need strong water movement through a larger filter system.
This model is listed as Quality Swimflo 2 SFP15 and is recommended for use with a 5 bag sand filter. It is a suitable option for larger residential pools and selected commercial pool applications where correct sizing, plumbing and electrical installation are important.
A pool pump is the heart of the filtration system. It moves water from the pool through the weir, pump basket, filter and return lines. In larger pools, the pump must be matched correctly to the filter, pipework and pool volume. An undersized pump may struggle to circulate the water properly, while poor plumbing can restrict flow and place unnecessary load on the motor.
The Quality Swimflo 2 1.5kW pump supports 50mm minimum suction and discharge pipework, with 63mm recommended for larger systems. Pipework should never be smaller than the pump connection. Suitable unions should be used on the pump connections or close to the pump so that the pump can be removed later for servicing if needed.
The pump is self priming and can be installed above or below water level when correctly installed. Where the pump is installed below water level, a control valve should be fitted on the suction line between the pool weir or skimmer and the pump. This helps prevent the pump from flooding when the lid is opened to clean the leaf basket.
Correct pump positioning is important. The pump should be placed on a flat, level surface that is protected from rain and flooding. The motor is fan cooled and requires enough ventilation during operation. At least 150mm clearance behind the motor fan cowling should be allowed for airflow and service access. The motor is not waterproof, so the pump house or box must have proper drainage and ventilation.
For best long term performance, this pump should be installed by a qualified pool professional and connected electrically by a suitably qualified person. Electrical connection, cable rating, waterproofing, ventilation, drainage and correct pump rotation all matter. The supplied information notes that the correct rotation is clockwise when viewed from the motor end, and that 220 volt single phase motors are wired at the manufacturer for correct rotation.
Regular maintenance helps keep the pump running properly. Clean the pump leaf trap and pool weir regularly, keep the motor free from dust, backwash the filter weekly or when pressure rises by 50 percent above starting operating pressure, and replace the lid O ring annually. Only silicone paste should be used on O rings and seals. Do not use Vaseline or petroleum based lubricants.
The Quality Swimflo 2 1.5kW pool pump is used to circulate pool water through the filtration system. It draws water from the pool, pushes it through the filter and returns filtered water back to the pool.
The supplied information states that the Quality Swimflo 2 1.5kW pump is suitable for pools up to 100,000 litres.
This pump is recommended for use with a 5 bag sand filter. Matching the pump to the correct filter size is important for proper circulation and filtration.
The supplied information states 50mm minimum pipe connections, with 63mm recommended. Suction and discharge pipework should not be smaller than the pump connection.
Yes. The pump is listed as self priming and can be installed above or below water level when installed correctly.
Yes, but if installed below water level, a control valve should be fitted on the suction pipe between the pool weir or skimmer and the pump. This helps prevent flooding when the pump lid is opened for basket cleaning.
Yes. Professional installation is recommended. Electrical connections must be carried out by suitably qualified people only, and correct plumbing, drainage and ventilation are important.
The motor is fan cooled. Poor ventilation can cause overheating, premature bearing failure or motor burnout. The pump house or box should allow proper airflow during operation.
No. The motor is not waterproof. The pump must be protected from rain and flooding, and the pump house or box must have adequate drainage.
Clean the leaf trap and pool weir regularly, keep the motor dust free, backwash the filter weekly or when pressure rises by 50 percent, replace the lid O ring yearly and use silicone paste only on O rings and seals.
Running the pump dry can damage internal parts, including the mechanical seal. The pump should also not be run under closed valve conditions for extended periods.
The supplied troubleshooting information states that a water leak from the drain seal plate flange usually means the mechanical seal needs to be replaced.
This can happen if the shaft cannot rotate freely, if bearings are faulty, if foreign objects are jammed in the impeller or if the capacitor is faulty. The motor must be isolated before checking.
