🎯 Real World Examples & Applications

🏊‍♂️ Large Residential Swimming Pools (60,000-80,000 Litres) Perfect for substantial domestic pools requiring high turnover rates. The 20m³/h maximum flow ensures complete water circulation every 3-4 hours, maintaining crystal-clear water quality even with heavy bather loads. The 2″ connections minimise friction losses in longer pipe runs from pool to equipment pad.

🛁 High-End Hot Tub Systems Ideal for large commercial-grade hot tubs or multi-zone spa installations requiring powerful circulation. The continuous-duty motor and sealed bearing design excel in warm, humid environments typical of indoor spa installations. Self-priming design simplifies installation in challenging locations.

🌊 Sophisticated Water Features Excellent choice for demanding fountain applications, cascading water features, or complex aquatic installations requiring consistent high-pressure water delivery. The robust construction withstands continuous operation while maintaining quiet performance.

🏢 Pool/Spa Combination Systems Perfect for integrated pool and spa installations where a single powerful pump services both features through valve-controlled circuits. The 2HP motor provides sufficient pressure to drive spa jets while maintaining pool filtration when configured properly.

🔄 Upgrade from Underpowered Systems Ideal replacement for undersized pumps struggling to maintain water quality in larger pools. The SR200N’s high head capability ensures effective circulation even with elevated equipment pads or complex plumbing configurations.

☀️ Seasonal Pool Operations Designed for 6-month seasonal operation with proper winterisation. The Hi-Rise mounting base facilitates complete drainage, while the robust construction withstands storage in unheated spaces during off-season months.
