POOL PUMP AQUAGEM INVERTER INVERCAPTAIN (1.2KW) DCP12
Aquagem Pool Pump – Ultra Quiet, Full Inverter Efficiency for Pools 40,000–70,000L (Replaces DC24)
Product Description
The Aquagem InverCaptain DCP12 1.2kW DC Inverter Pool Pump is a next-generation full inverter swimming pool pump designed for maximum energy efficiency, ultra-quiet operation, and intelligent pool circulation control. Built with Aquagem’s advanced InverSilence® technology, the DCP12 delivers powerful water circulation while dramatically reducing electricity usage and operating noise.
Designed for residential and light commercial swimming pools between 40,000 and 70,000 litres, the InverCaptain DCP12 replaces the older DC24 model and introduces a smarter, more efficient way to manage pool filtration and circulation.
Unlike traditional single-speed pool pumps that constantly run at full power, the InverCaptain automatically adjusts motor speed between 30% and 100% depending on pool demand. This precise control reduces unnecessary power consumption and creates substantial long-term energy savings while maintaining excellent water quality.
Powered by a high-efficiency Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) and brushless DC motor technology, the DCP12 operates up to 30 times quieter than conventional pool pumps. The advanced volute hydraulic system further isolates vibration and turbulence, creating smoother water flow and significantly lower operating noise levels.
The intelligent full-touch controller provides complete control over operating modes, speed settings, and energy monitoring. Pool owners can select between Auto Mode, Manual Mode, and Timer Mode depending on their pool requirements and filtration schedules. A convenient one-touch backwash function simplifies filter maintenance while helping maintain optimal filtration efficiency.
Manufactured using durable engineered plastics and certified to NRCS SANS IEC 60335-2-41 standards, the Aquagem InverCaptain DCP12 is built to withstand demanding South African pool environments while delivering exceptional long-term reliability.
Perfect for homeowners wanting lower electricity costs, whisper-quiet operation, and smart inverter technology, the InverCaptain DCP12 represents one of the most advanced energy-saving pool pump solutions available today.
Save up to 90% in energy costs and enjoy peace and quiet with the most advanced pool pump in its class.
