0.40kW Pool Pump Clamped Lid Pools up to 15,000L

AQUA MAX 0.40KW POOL PUMP The Aqua Max 0.40kW is a self-priming swimming pool pump designed for small to medium residential pools up to 15,000 litres. The 0.40kW motor delivers a step up in flow rate over the 0.25kW while maintaining low running costs. This pump handles daily filtration cycles efficiently, keeping your pool water clear and healthy. Manufactured by Pool DC in Germiston, South Africa, with full local support and spares availability. CLAMPED LID FOR EASY MAINTENANCE The clamped lid design allows fast access to the strainer basket without tools. Simply release the clamp handle, lift the lid, and remove the basket to clear leaves and debris. The lid O-ring maintains an airtight seal to keep the pump primed. Routine basket cleaning takes under a minute — no spanners or wrenches needed. SELF-PRIMING OPERATION The Aqua Max 0.40kW is self-priming, drawing water up from below pump level without manual filling each time. Once initially primed, the pump retains water in the volute and re-primes automatically on startup. This is essential for installations where the pump sits above the pool water level. PUMP PAIRING Pair the 0.40kW with a 1-bag sand filter (25kg sand) for optimal filtration. This combination provides effective water turnover for pools up to 15,000 litres within a standard 8-hour pump cycle.
