Product Overview
The Pentair Booster Pump supplies the additional water pressure required by compatible pressure-side pool cleaners. Designed to work alongside the pool’s main circulation pump, it delivers 50 PSI at 12 GPM to support cleaner operation. Dual-voltage capability accommodates properly configured 115V or 230V electrical systems. Pool Supply Depot offers this complete booster pump for contractors, service professionals, and pool owners replacing failed equipment or completing a compatible cleaner installation.
Ideal For
Inground pools with booster-powered pressure-side cleaners, replacement projects involving an existing cleaner booster pump, and professionally planned equipment installations requiring a dedicated cleaner pressure supply.
Key Features
- Dedicated booster performance supplies additional pressure for compatible automatic pool cleaners.
- Dual-voltage motor supports 115V or 230V operation when correctly configured for the electrical supply.
- Durable, corrosion-resistant construction is designed for pool-equipment applications.
- Included hose and adapters provide connection components for the pump inlet and outlet.
Benefits
A dedicated pressure boost helps a compatible cleaner perform its intended job. Replacing a failed booster pump can preserve an otherwise serviceable cleaner installation. Included connection components also simplify planning for equipment-pad replacement projects.
Compatibility
Pentair specifies compatibility with Legend, Legend Platinum, and Legend Platinum Truck Series automatic pool cleaners. For other cleaners, confirm the manufacturer’s booster-pump requirements before ordering.
Compare existing plumbing, electrical supply, mounting space, and control arrangements. Matching horsepower alone does not guarantee a direct replacement without modifications.
Installation or Upgrade Context
Have a qualified pool professional install the pump, with electrical work completed by a licensed electrician. Verify voltage configuration, grounding, bonding, and control sequencing.
The booster must receive filtered water and operate only while the circulation pump supplies adequate flow. Never run it dry.
What’s Included
Complete booster pump with motor, six feet of connection hose, and hose adapters. The pressure-side cleaner, timer, and site-specific electrical or plumbing materials are separate.

Customer Q&A
Does this replace the main pool circulation pump?
No. It boosts pressure for a compatible cleaner and depends on water supplied by the pool’s filtration system.
Can it run while the main pool pump is off?
No. Running without the required water supply can damage the booster pump and its shaft seal. Coordinate both pumps’ operating schedules.
Will it work with every pressure-side cleaner?
No. Some pressure-side cleaners operate without a booster pump. Confirm the exact cleaner’s requirements rather than assuming all pressure-side models use the same equipment.
Can I connect it to either 115V or 230V?
Yes, when properly configured. A licensed electrician must verify the supply and motor wiring before energizing the pump; dual-voltage capability does not mean automatic voltage selection.
