electrical consumption due to this innovative motor design. This imPower motor
is designed to replace existing fulll-rated pool lter pump motors rated at 3/4 HP
1.65 SF or up-rated motor at 1.0HP 1.25 SF.
This motor also features three selectable speeds either through the use of the
patent pending auto speed switch feature, top panel push buttons, external
multi-speed timers, or through external automation controls.
