Davey StarFlo and StarFlo SF Pool Pumps

At a Glance

The Davey StarFlo and StarFlo SF are multi-fit single speed pool pumps for New Zealand, built for in ground and above ground pools, large swim spas and plunge pools up to 90,000 litres. The StarFlo (DSF300 and DSF420) is the larger, fully serviceable pump. The StarFlo SF (DSF750 to DSF1350) is the value pick, four sizes from the entry DSF750.

Ideal for

• StarFlo: retrofitting a wide range of existing pool pad installations with a straightforward, fully serviceable pump

Why We Like It

• StarFlo: fully serviceable and built from corrosion resistant materials with a 316 stainless shaft, a no fuss pump that suits a wide range of existing pads. The DSF300 and DSF420 are physically bigger pumps than the SF models.
• StarFlo SF: the value pick in the Davey pool pump range at a noticeably lower price than the Silensor. It runs at 60 to 65dBa rather than the Silensor's 54 to 56dBa, so if the pump sits next to where you relax or a bedroom window, the Silensor is worth the extra spend.
