The Maxi-Pump 1.5hp 2 Speed Motor for Above Ground Pools has a powerful two-speed motor that can keep your pool clean all season. The pump’s two speeds allow you to choose the speed that best fits the job. For everyday operation, you can set the pump to low speed to save energy. Slower flowing water means less friction in your filter and plumbing system, which uses less energy. The pump has a durable enclosed motor design with an extra-large leaf basket strainer cover. It operates quietly and can be easily installed by connecting it to a standard 110-volt plug.
