Product Overview

The Pentair EQ Series Commercial Plastic Pool Pump 340607 is a high-capacity commercial circulation pump designed for demanding pool and aquatic applications. Built specifically for commercial and large residential pools, the EQ Series delivers strong hydraulic performance, reliable operation, and efficient water movement in high-flow systems.

This model features a 15 HP motor, 208-230/460V three-phase power, and an integrated hair and lint strainer.
