Product Overview

The ABPL300S is engineered for pool owners who need high flow and flexibility. Its 3 HP motor paired with variable speed control allows you to tailor pump speed to the specific demands of filtration, heating, water features, or cleaning. At lower speeds, it operates more quietly and uses far less electricity than a single speed pump running at full power constantly.

Durability is built into every aspect of this pump. The PMM drive and TEFC motor reduce heat and wear. The vibration dampening insert and robust lid design improve user comfort and maintain ease of maintenance. With plumbing connections for both 2″ and 2½″ unions, it fits a wide range of installations.

For large residential or light commercial pools with high flow requirements, the PLP300S provides reliable performance, programmable control, and energy savings through adjustable operation.
