Product Overview

The MaxFlo™ XL is designed as an energy-efficient, high-performance, single-speed pool pump engineered for both new installations and retrofit replacements. With a dual-voltage motor (115/230 V), robust service-ease construction, advanced hydraulics, and union connections for quick plumbing fit-up, this model delivers reliable circulation without unnecessary complexity.

Ideal For

• Residential pool owners seeking a trusted single-speed pump for filtration or circulation who prefer simplicity over variable speed control.

• Positive retrofits replacing older pumps where plumbing is standard (1½″ × 2″ unions) and wiring allows 115/230 V.

• Installations where medium-head hydraulic performance is sufficient and owners value ease of service and long-term reliability.

• Service technicians recommending a dependable pump for standard in-ground pools where variable speed isn’t required or permitted.

Key Features

• 1 HP Dual-Voltage Motor (115/230 V) — delivers flexibility for various equipment-pad wiring setups.

• Medium-Head Hydraulic Design — engineered to handle the demands of standard in-ground pool systems with efficiency.

• Advanced Hydraulics & Self-Priming Capability — improved performance and priming compared to older legacy pumps.

• 1½″ × 2″ Union Connections — retrofits easily into existing plumbing with minimal rework.

• Large Transparent Strainer Basket & Quick-Release Cover — simplifies inspection and maintenance.

• Service-Ease Design — access to internal components (motor, seal, impeller) through only four bolts for faster servicing.

Customer-Facing Q&A

Q: Can I wire this pump to 115 V or 230 V?
A: Yes — this model supports both 115 V and 230 V single-phase wiring (dual-voltage), giving you installation flexibility.

Q: How do I know if 1 HP is enough for my pool?
A: Many standard residential in-ground pools can operate efficiently on a 1 HP pump when plumbing and system resistance are properly sized. If you have large water features, very long plumbing runs, or high head losses, a higher horsepower or variable-speed option may be better.

Q: Is this model energy efficient?
A: While it is a single-speed pump, the MaxFlo XL incorporates advanced hydraulics to improve efficiency relative to older pumps. For maximum energy savings, a variable-speed model would be more appropriate.

Q: Does this fit my existing plumbing?
A: Most likely yes if your current pump uses 1½″ × 2″ union connections — the MaxFlo XL uses the same union size to simplify retrofits. Always verify your piping and union dimensions before purchase.

Q: What maintenance is needed?
A: The major tasks include clearing the basket regularly, verifying proper priming and flow, and inspecting the strainer lid seal. The transparent see-through cover and quick-release latch make basket access straightforward. Servicing the motor and mechanical seal periodically helps extend life too.
