💧 PPG Pump 21 1.1kW 1 Phase – Professional Self-Priming Swimming Pool Pump
Powerful 1.5HP Resin Motor Pool Pump with 5-Year Warranty, Whisper-Quiet Operation & Full Saltwater Compatibility
📋 Product Overview
The PPG Pump 21 is a professional-grade 1.1kW (1.5HP) single-phase self-priming circulation pump with integrated prefilter, engineered for demanding swimming pool filtration applications. Delivering an impressive 19m³/h flow rate at 10m head pressure, this robust pump provides the powerful water circulation that medium to large pools require for crystal-clear water.
At the heart of the PPG Pump 21 is its advanced resin-sealed motor technology, backed by an industry-leading 5-year warranty. This innovative construction makes the motor both moisture and waterproof – should it accidentally fall into the pool, it remains fully protected. The resin encapsulation improves heat dissipation, prevents overheating, stabilises the motor windings to eliminate vibration and wear, and delivers remarkably quiet operation.
Every PPG pump undergoes 100% quality control testing before leaving the factory. Components are checked before production, and each completed pump is tested in open air to guarantee seal integrity, then immersed in water for at least 10 minutes to verify hydraulic and electrical performance. This commitment to quality ensures you receive a pump that’s ready for years of reliable service.
Fully compatible with saltwater systems and salt electrolysers, the PPG Pump 21 handles freshwater, seawater, and chlorinated water with equal effectiveness.
