Pentair Swimmey 24M 230v Centrifugal Swimming Pool Pump

Description

The Pentair Swimmey 24M 230v (code 014-016) is a self-priming swimming pool pump with a built-in pre-filter, designed for filtering and circulating chlorine-treated pool water. It delivers up to 400 litres per minute (about 24 m³/h), runs on standard 230v single-phase mains and has DN 50 suction and delivery connections. It is built for higher flow rather than higher pressure: its curve is flatter than the Swimmey 19, so it keeps delivering at flows where the 19 runs out.

Pentair’s data shows 13 m of head at 100 l/min, 10.5 m at 200 l/min, 6 m at 300 l/min and 4 m at 350 l/min. Choose it when you need more water through a large filter on a relatively short, low-resistance pipe run. The Swimmey 24T 415v is the same pump for a three-phase supply. The Swimmey 19M is the next size down (310 l/min) and the Swimmey 28M is the next size up (470 l/min).

Every Swimmey is a close-coupled, self-priming centrifugal pump with an integral pre-filter. The pump body and pre-filter are ABS, the impeller and diffuser are glass-fibre reinforced Lexan to resist abrasion from sand, and the large polyethylene strainer basket sits under a clear Lexan cover that you unscrew by hand to empty it. A graphite and ceramic mechanical seal and a stainless steel shaft with an insulating element complete the wet end. The 2850 rpm motor is IPX5 rated with class F insulation and self-lubricating ball bearings, and is suitable for continuous duty. Suction and delivery connections are DN 50.

It runs on a standard 230v single-phase supply and draws 4.8 A. The motor has a permanently connected run capacitor and a thermal cut-out built into the winding, so it protects itself if it overheats. Pentair requires an earthed supply protected by a 30 mA residual current device.

• Like-for-like replacement of an existing Swimmey 24
• Circulation and filtration through sand or cartridge filters

Pentair rates the Swimmey for chlorine-treated pool water up to 40°C, a maximum operating pressure of 2.5 bar and a maximum ambient temperature of 45°C. It is a surface pump, not a submersible: install it in a dry, ventilated place, protected from frost, with isolating valves on both sides and a non-return valve after the pump. Never run it dry, and do not use it for flammable or hazardous liquids. If your pool uses salt or another treatment, talk to us before ordering.
