💧 PPG Pump 30 1.8kW 1 Phase – High-Capacity Self-Priming Swimming Pool Pump

Elite 2.5HP Resin Motor Pool Pump Delivering 30m³/h Flow Rate with 5-Year Warranty & Full Saltwater Compatibility

📋 Product Overview

The PPG Pump 30 is an elite 1.8kW (2.5HP) single-phase self-priming circulation pump with integrated prefilter, engineered for larger swimming pools and commercial installations demanding exceptional water flow and filtration performance. Delivering an outstanding 30m³/h flow rate at 10m head pressure, this high-capacity pump provides the powerful water circulation that large residential pools and commercial facilities require for pristine water quality.

At the heart of the PPG Pump 30 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 despite the substantial 2.5HP power output.

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, high-output service.

Fully compatible with saltwater systems and salt electrolysers, the PPG Pump 30 handles freshwater, seawater, and chlorinated water with equal effectiveness – making it the ideal choice for demanding pool environments.

🎯 Real World Applications

🏊‍♂️ Large Residential Pools

The PPG Pump 30’s powerful 1.8kW (2.5HP) motor delivers the high flow rates essential for effective filtration in larger pools from 75m³ to 120m³. At 30m³/h flow rate, the pump can turn over a 90m³ pool every 3 hours – comfortably meeting the recommended 2-3 turnovers per day for crystal-clear water.

🏢 Commercial & Public Pool Installations

Hotels, holiday parks, leisure centres, schools, and sports facilities benefit from the pump’s exceptional reliability, high flow capacity, and industrial-grade components. The 5-year motor warranty provides peace of mind for commercial operators where downtime is costly and consistent water quality is essential.

🌊 Saltwater Pool Systems

Unlike many pumps that corrode quickly in saltwater environments, the PPG Pump 30’s marine-grade stainless steel construction and Viton seals provide complete compatibility with salt chlorinator systems – essential for larger saltwater pool installations demanding high flow rates.

🔄 High-Demand Filtration Systems

When paired with larger commercial sand filters, glass media filters, or high-capacity cartridge systems, the PPG Pump 30’s consistent 30m³/h flow rate ensures optimal filtration performance. Ideal for pools with extensive water features, infinity edges, spillovers, or counter-current swim systems requiring substantial hydraulic capacity.

🏊 Swim Spa & Endless Pool Applications

The high flow capacity makes the PPG Pump 30 suitable for swim spas and endless pool installations where powerful water circulation is essential for creating effective swimming currents.

🔄 Replacement & Upgrade Applications

When upgrading from older, undersized, or less efficient pumps, the PPG Pump 30 offers significantly improved water circulation, enhanced energy efficiency relative to output, and superior reliability. The standard 63mm connection size ensures straightforward installation in most existing pool plant rooms.
