Benefits
The Pentair EC-LA01N helps restore strong pressure-side cleaner performance by supplying the dedicated water pressure these cleaners require. If a booster pump is weak, noisy, leaking, or failing, the cleaner may move slowly, miss debris, or stop operating properly.
By delivering 50 PSI at 12 GPM, this booster pump helps cleaners maintain proper drive performance and debris pickup. The dual-voltage design provides installation flexibility, while the included hose and adapters help simplify setup for compatible systems.
For pool professionals, the EC-LA01N is a reliable replacement option for pressure-side cleaner booster pump installations.
