PPG Pump Deluxe 38 1.5kW 1 Phase

Introduction

As a retailer of premium pool equipment, I’m pleased to present the PPG Pump Deluxe 38 with its robust 1.5kW single-phase motor. This professional-grade pump represents the ultimate offering in the Deluxe series, delivering exceptional power and performance for large residential pools and demanding water systems while maintaining compatibility with standard residential electrical services.

Heritage of Excellence

The PPG Pump Deluxe 38 continues the distinguished legacy of the renowned Badu 90, which for decades set the industry benchmark for reliability, efficiency, and noise control in the swimming pool sector. This advanced model builds upon that foundation of excellence while incorporating significant technological enhancements to meet the demands of the most sophisticated modern pool systems.

Superior Engineering

What truly sets this pump apart is its masterful integration of proven engineering principles with cutting-edge innovations. The result is a modern, elegantly designed pump that delivers superior hydraulic efficiency with remarkably quiet operation—a critical feature for discerning pool owners who value both premium performance and tranquility in their outdoor living spaces.

Versatile Installation Options

Engineered with practical flexibility in mind, the PPG Pump Deluxe 38 can be positioned at a maximum of 3 meters above or 3 meters below water level. This installation versatility accommodates various equipment room configurations, allowing optimal placement regardless of site constraints or existing plumbing layouts.

Salt System Compatibility

The PPG Pump Deluxe 38 is specifically designed to excel in contemporary pool sanitation environments. Built to withstand salt concentrations of up to 0.5% (5 grams/liter), this pump maintains its integrity and performance even in salt-chlorinated pools. Specialized corrosion-resistant materials and engineering ensure extended service life in these more demanding chemical conditions.

Professional-Grade Performance

The powerful 1.5kW motor provides exceptional water movement capacity while maintaining the convenience of single-phase electrical connection. This makes the Deluxe 38 ideal for the largest residential pools, complex water feature systems, or applications requiring maximum flow rates, all while working with standard residential power supplies.

Applications

The PPG Pump Deluxe 38 is ideal for:

• Extra-large residential swimming pools
• Complex pool/spa combinations with multiple features
• Systems with substantial water features or waterfalls
• Salt-chlorinated pools
• Applications requiring maximum flow capacity
• Installations where noise reduction remains essential
• Pools with demanding filtration requirements
• Properties with extensive connected water elements
