Waterco TurboFlo High Performance Pool Pump

At a Glance

The Waterco TurboFlo is a high performance pump for pools and spas with high power requirements, in 1, 2 and 3hp. Its wet end can be turned to suit five different plumbing layouts, which makes it handy where a standard pump will not line up with the pipework.

Ideal for

• Spas, swim spas and pools with high power requirements
• Awkward equipment pads where the outlet has to point a particular way
• Ancillary duties such as water features and jets
• Replacing an older TurboFlo or similar compact pump

Pool sizes are our guide, sized against Davey's chart for pumps of the same horsepower. Waterco does not publish a pool size for its pumps.

Why We Like It

The TurboFlo earns its place on awkward pads: turn the wet end and the outlet points where you need it, with no extra elbows and fittings. It is a compact, no frills pump, and Waterco lists it with its ancillary pumps rather than its domestic range. Because the flow is only published as curves, the Supatuf or Hydrostorm are easier to size on paper. Tell us your pool and plumbing and we will say whether the TurboFlo is the right pick.

Installation

It plumbs in at the equipment pad with the quick connect unions, flooded suction from the pool, so it sits at or below water level. Fit it yourself, or use a pool installer or plumber. Wiring to a fixed supply needs a licensed electrician.

Warranty & Support

3 year warranty on the pump, conditional on the install and use following Waterco's terms, with some wearing parts at 2 years and labour at 1 year. Commercial use is covered for 1 year. DIY installing? Warranty applies when the install follows the supplied install guide. Questions? Call 07 863 8064, real people, Waihi and Kopu stores, Mon to Fri.
