Flow is quoted at 8 m and 10 m of head so you can compare it honestly against other pumps at the same point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydrostorm:\u003c\/strong\u003e the 150 and 200 share a motor frame and length and the 200 moves more water, so compare the price gap before you settle on the 150. If you want to cut running costs on a normal sized pool, the variable speed Hydrostorm ECO-V is the better choice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydrostorm Plus:\u003c\/strong\u003e the same pump with the two things people complain about fixed, a lid you can get off and a basket that does not need emptying every other visit. The 300 has 65mm ports, so check your pipework before you order, as you will need adaptors if the pool is plumbed in 50mm. On a normal domestic pool you will not need this much pump.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt 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.
