Product details
The Pentair C-Series CHK-50, part 011657, is a 5 horsepower commercial pool pump in bronze, wired for three phase power at 220-440V and supplied with an integral strainer.
Where it belongs
This is a heavy duty commercial pump for large pools, fountains and water attractions, the kind of installation that asks for high flow and does not get to stop. The C-Series has held the standard for medium and high head performance in the pool industry for a long time, which is why it keeps turning up on commercial specifications.
Built for continuous duty
The bronze body and the stainless steel strainer basket are the reason it lasts. Both indoor and outdoor projects are hard on equipment in different ways, and this construction handles either. Maintenance is straightforward and the pump runs quietly for its size.
Before you order
Confirm you have three phase service in the 220-440V range and that the plumbing matches. This pump ships freight because of its weight.
