Afras Variable Speed Pump

AFRAS SUPER HIGH EFFICIENT AND PERFORMANCE VARIABLE SPEED PUMP COMPATIBLE WITH PENTAIR INTELLIFLO/ WHISPERFLO

Run quieter, cleaner, and cheaper. The Afras Variable-Speed Pump uses a high-efficiency, permanent-magnet motor to deliver the flow you need at the lowest practical RPM—cutting energy use dramatically versus single-speed pumps while keeping filtration steady and water sparkling. Choose 1.5 HP, 2 HP, or 3 HP to match your pool’s size and features (spa jets, water features, in-floor, etc.). The onboard controller lets you set programmable schedules (daily/weekly), switch between multiple speed presets, and fine-tune RPM for filtration, skimming, heating, or backwash—so you only pay for the flow you actually need.

Built for everyday reliability, the pump features a quiet, TEFC-style motor design, a large easy-clean strainer basket, and corrosion-resistant wet end compatible with salt or chlorinated pools. Clear lid, quick-release clamp, and union connections make service simple; low-RPM operation reduces wear and helps your filter do its best work.

Key highlights

• Variable-speed efficiency with permanent-magnet motor for big power savings

• Programmable controller with multiple speed presets & schedules

• Quiet operation at low RPM for peaceful backyards and equipment pads

• Large strainer basket with clear lid for fast debris checks

• Corrosion-resistant wet end—compatible with salt and traditional chlorine

• Union connections for straightforward installs and maintenance (size/model dependent)

• Works great with heaters, salt systems, and automation (integration varies by model)

Sizing guidance

• 1.5 HP – standard residential pools focused on filtration/heat with modest features

• 2 HP – larger pools or pools with moderate water features/spa spillways

• 3 HP – big bodies of water, higher-head systems, multiple features, or in-floor cleaning
  (Share pool volume, plumbing size/length, filter type, and features—I'll recommend target RPMs and daily run times.)

Install notes

• Verify power requirements (most VS pumps are 230V; check your model) and have a licensed pro handle wiring per code.

• Use existing union sizes/orientation or adapt as needed; ensure straight pipe runs into the suction for best priming.

• After start-up, set a low-RPM filtration schedule for daily clarity and a higher-RPM preset for heating, spa, or water features.

• Keep basket emptied and maintain clean filter pressure; lower RPMs extend component life and improve overall efficiency.
