Product Description

The Aquagem InverEco DE 18 0.75kW Pool Pump Installation is a professional supply and installation service for residential swimming pools between 30,000 and 50,000 litres. It is a good choice for South African homeowners who want a quieter, more energy saving pool pump installed properly by an experienced pool team.

This service includes the Aquagem InverEco DE 18 0.75kW inverter pool pump, removal of your old pool pump, standard installation labour, travel within the Gauteng service area, basic pipework, 2 unions and electrical connection to the existing DB point where suitable. It is made for homeowners, DIY pool owners, pool contractors and trade installers who need a neat and reliable pump replacement without guessing which fittings or connections are required.

The Aquagem InverEco pump works differently from a normal single speed pool pump. A standard pump usually runs at one speed only, whether the pool needs full power or not. The InverEco uses InverSilence technology to adjust the motor speed between 30% and 100%, depending on the pressure and demand in the pool system. This helps lower electricity use, reduce noise and make daily filtration easier to manage.

The pump also includes a full touch control panel, up to 4 daily operating timers, a power consumption reading, and a one click backwash function. This makes it practical for everyday pool care, because you can run slower filtration cycles for normal daily use and use full power when backwashing your sand filter.

The pump body is made from high grade UV stabilized engineering plastics, which makes it suitable for South African outdoor pump room conditions. It has an IE4 brushless DC motor, IP55 protection, 63mm union connections, and 63mm to 50mm reducers for standard pool plumbing. This installation is suitable for concrete, marbelite, fibreglass, vinyl lined and painted residential pools, as long as the existing plumbing and electrical setup are in good working condition.
