Product details
The Waterway Executive ME-30226-20 is a 3 HP, 2-speed, 230V spa pump on a 56 frame motor, with a 2 inch intake, a 2 inch discharge and an 8 foot cord.
What it does
The Executive wet end is designed specifically for 56 frame motors. The two speed motor has four sets of insulated windings for increased efficiency, and it draws 10.0 amps on high speed and 3.4 amps on low speed at 230V and 60 Hz. The large 2 inch intake improves flow performance and reduces noise, and the large 6-1/2 inch diameter wet end supports higher head pressure.
Construction
The pump uses copper windings, silicon carbide seals, Viton bellows and a corrosion resistant 316 stainless steel casing. Two double shielded ball bearings with moisture resistant grease give quieter operation and longer life, the split capacitor (start and run) uses less energy, and thermal protection extends the life expectancy of the motor. The 56 frame motor adds strength and runs cooler. The pump is CE and TUV certified.
Before you order
The wet end can be rotated every 90 degrees, and the 8 foot cord ends in a 4-pin AMP connector. Confirm that your equipment pad has 230V power and 2 inch plumbing. The manufacturer covers the motor and wet end for three years. This pump is also listed as 3721221-1D.
