♨️ Koller Compact Series Jet Pump – 0.45kW Single Speed
Ultra-compact design for space-restricted whirlpool bath installations
💧 Product Overview
The Koller Compact Series Jet Pump (0.45kW) is the entry-level model in the Koller Compact range, specifically engineered for installations where space is extremely limited. With its ultra-compact dimensions and compact wet ends, this pump is ideal for fitting into the tightest spaces with little or no plumbing alterations required.
Delivering 0.45kW of power output, this single-speed pump is suitable for use as either a circulation pump or a boost pump on jet circuits with 6–8 jets. Commonly used in whirlpool baths, this model is also found in some European and Chinese hot tubs where space constraints demand the most compact solution available.
The self-drain wet end ensures efficient drainage via the bottom inlet, directing water back into the bath and down the plug hole when not in use. The A-Profile mount system integrates with Koller Quick Fix Vario supports for secure, straightforward installation.
