Technical characteristics of the K Flo swimming pool pump

Because it's a further development of the Kripsol Koral can be easily replaced. The Koral is also made in the cream color, gray color and also in a blue color - this is the same pump. You can therefore easily replace these swimming pool pumps with the new K FLo from Hayward.

Economical and very well designed pool pump

It transparent lid of the swimming pool pump 0.5pK is made in such a way that you can easily open it with a quarter turn and close it again in the same way. Leaks from the cover of the pump's pre-filter are thus avoided. On the other hand, it is very easy to see whether there is dirt in the pre-filter of the swimming pool pump. In other words, you do not have to unnecessarily open the lid to check whether there is dirt in the filter basket.

You can also easily empty it at the bottom of the pump to prevent damage in freezing weather. You can unscrew the plug from the pump without tools.

Included in the packaging of the Hayward K FLO pool pump always connections in diameter 50mm and 63mm. This ensures that the connection with the swimming pool installation is very easy, unlike most other swimming pool pumps.

In summary, this pool pump 0.5pK has been developed and equipped with the best and most convenient new features for a good pool filtration pump.

Which pool pump do you need?

The power of the pump is determined by the volume of the pool.

For example: a swimming pool of 50m³ can best be pumped around 3 times in 10h = 150m³ / 10h = 15m³/h It is therefore best to choose a pump that pumps 15m³/h. These flow rates are determined with a certain resistance (pipes, bends, filter, etc…). We express this in head. By hand we calculate with a head of 10m.

• The K Flo 0.33pK pumps 7 – 10 m³/h for a swimming pool up to 20m³
• A K Flo 0.5pK pumps 10 – 12m³/h for a swimming pool up to 30m³
• K Flo 0.75pK pumps 13 – 15m³/h for a swimming pool up to 45m³
• The K Flo 1pK pumps 15 – 18m³/h for a swimming pool up to 60m³
• And a K Flo 1.5pK pump 22 – 25m³/h for a swimming pool up to 75m³

Be sure to choose a pump that matches the filter you have. So if you have a filter with a diameter of 400mm, it makes no sense to install a 1.5pK pump. Here's an overview:

• If you have a sand filter up to 400mm, choose the K Flo 0.33 – 0.5pK
• For a sand filter up to 500mm, choose the K Flo 0.5pK
• With a sand filter up to 600mm, choose the K Flo 0.75pK
• For a sand filter up to 700mm, choose the k Flo 1pK
• For sand filters larger than 700mm, choose the K Flo 1.5pK swimming pool pump

In other words, the good combination of pump and sand filter will ensure that you have a good flow rate of the pool water. In summary, a good flow rate in the sand filter will ensure crystal clear water.
