Above Ground Pool Pumps

48 products

Match an above ground pump to the outlet that will feed it and to the pool's fittings. The pumps here with a stated voltage all run on 115 volts, most arrive with a cord of 3 to 6 feet, and several take 1-1/2 inch connections. Choose two speed when the pump will run for most of the day, since the lower speed covers the hours the pool only needs filtering.

Questions about Above Ground Pool Pumps

Can I plug an above ground pool pump into a regular outlet?

Into a 115 volt outlet, yes, as long as it has GFCI protection. Each pump here with a stated voltage is 115 volt, and most come with a 3 or 6 foot cord. The National Electrical Code calls for Class A GFCI protection on any outlet that feeds a pool pump motor. The 1.5 HP Power-Flo LX draws 15 amps, so check the circuit's rating too. Local code and your inspector have the final word.

Should an above ground pool pump be one speed or two speed?

Two speed if it will run most of the day. Here that means the 1.5 HP Power-Flo Matrix, which comes with its switch, Waterway's Hi-Flo II at 1 total horsepower, and Waterway's 1.5 HP Hi-Flo. None of the above ground pumps here is variable speed. A single speed such as the Power-Flo LX suits a pump that a timer runs for a few hours at a time.

What size connections does an above ground pool pump have?

Usually 1-1/2 inch. Hayward's Power-Flo LX lists 1-1/2 inch female pipe thread and Doughboy's Embassy PowerLine XP a 1-1/2 inch pipe size, while Waterway's 1.5 HP Hi-Flo has 2 inch intake and discharge. If the pool's lines are hose rather than rigid pipe, the pump will need hose adapters on those threads.

Does an above ground pool pump come with a strainer?

The ones here do. Hayward lists a strainer as included with the Power-Flo LX, the Power-Flo Matrix has an oversized strainer basket for leaves and large debris, and Waterway's Hi-Flo II is sold as a pump and trap together. Check the basket and its lid gasket each time you clean the filter.
