All You Need To Know About Pentair LTP Pool Pumps and Pentair PPP Pumps
WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING A NEW POOL PUMP
The guys at Pool and Property know all about Adelaide pumps and swimming pools. Buying a new swimming pool pump can be overwhelming. When your pump goes, it will usually stop all together. First thoughts are usually "can it be fixed" and then "the old one was okay let's just replace with it the same one". However, as with all technology and appliances you could be missing out on energy efficient and money saving better products.
The quality of the swimming pool water will depend on how long it takes to move all the water in your pool. Your pump size needs to match the size of your pool. If you can let the team at Pool and Property know the approximate size of your pool, they can recommend the best pool pump.
In this blog we will be discussing the Leisuretime ( LTP) and Pantera (PPP) which are both quality, durable swimming pool pumps that are affordable.
HOW DOES A POOL PUMP WORK?
A pool pump plays a major part of keeping a pool clean and how it works. The pump pulls water from either the pool drain or pool deck skimmer, or sometimes both, before sending it through a filter. If a heater or chlorinator has been fitted, the unit will also pump the water through these attachments prior to returning the water back into the pool.
LTP PENTAIR SWIMMING POOL PUMP RANGE
The range of Leisure Time pool pumps have been purposefully designed to provide maximum performance and corrosion resistance at a realistic cost. Features include:-
Self-Aligning Barrel Unions
Onga's unique 5 degree self-aligning barrel unions make pipework connection a breeze.
Electrical approvals
Incorporating an elevated mount into the pump design keeps moisture well away from the motor.
Corrosion resistant endshield
Unique electro-phoretic plated cast iron endshield for better corrosion protection extending the life of the pump.
Large hair and lint pot with see through lid
Easy to clean large hair and lint pot with a clear lid so you can check at a glance whether or not it is full.
Low friction lint pot O-ring
Having a low friction teflon impregn self-lubricating O-ring on the lint pot means you only need to tighten the lid by hand. No tools are necessary and because you only tighten by hand, removing the lid is alos a simple task.
LTP PENTAIR SWIMMING POOL PUMP RANGE
5 level of corresion resistance
Standard industry practice to protect pool pump motors from water ingress is normally only on two levels, a mechanical seal and flinger shaft sleeve. With over 30 years experience selling into the pool industry, we know the more protection you give the motor, the better off you are and that's why build five levels of motor protection into the Pantera range of pool pumps.
Elevated motor foot
Incorporating an elevated mount into the pump design keeps moisture well away from the motor.
Stainless steel motor shaft
A5/8" 316 stainless steel shaft extends the life of the pump shaft by utilising corrosion resistant stainless steel.
Shaft sleeve
A nylon shaft sleeve incorporating a flinger, adds additional water ingress protection whilst providing double insulation to the water circuit.
Mechanical Seal
A heavy-duty 3/4" 316 Stainless Steel mechanical seal (on all models) provides extended life and longer intervals between servicing.
Plastic Yoke and Lip-Seal
The new wet end design integrates a moulded end-shield cover and lip seal, protecting the motor from water damage.
Extra large hair and lint pot with see through lid
The hair and lint pot stops large particles from blocking the pump waterways. Having a larger than average lint pot means less time cleaning. By manufacturing the lint pot with a clear lid, it only takes a few seconds to check whether or not it is full.
Low friction lint pot O-ring
Having a low friction seld-lubricated O-ring on the lint pot means you only need to tighten the lid by hand. No tools are necessary and because you only tighten by hand, removing the lid is also a simple task.
Self aligning barrel unions
Onga's unique 5 degree self-aligning barrel unions make pipework connection a breeze.
Electrical approvals
Rest easy knowing your Pantera pool pump has passed the Australian Standard AS/NZS 6035.2.41 for safety and is approved for installation within the wetted zone of the pool area.
