🎯 Real World Examples & Applications

🏊‍♂️ Small to Medium Residential Pools

The SuperFlo 348190 is ideal for pools up to 20,000 gallons. Its 1.1 THP motor provides ample circulation for effective filtration while the TEFC motor design ensures minimal noise disruption to your outdoor living space.

🔄 Hayward Super Pump® Replacement

Designed as a direct drop-in replacement for the Hayward Super Pump, the SuperFlo matches the footprint and connection points. If your existing Super Pump has failed, the SuperFlo 348190 offers an easy upgrade path with no plumbing modifications required.

🌊 Water Features & Fountains

The SuperFlo’s reliable single-speed operation makes it well-suited for dedicated water feature applications where consistent flow is needed. Its quiet motor won’t disrupt the peaceful ambiance of your fountain or waterfall.

🏠 Budget-Conscious Pool Owners

For pools where a variable speed pump isn’t required or isn’t in the budget, the DOE-compliant SuperFlo offers the most efficient single-speed option available. The NEMA Premium Efficient motor saves more electricity than any other single-speed pump on the market.

☀️ Seasonal Pool Operations

Pool owners in regions with distinct pool seasons benefit from the SuperFlo’s self-priming capability and robust construction. It starts reliably each spring and handles the demands of peak summer use without issue.

💡 Single-Speed vs. Variable Speed: What You Should Know

📍 When a Single-Speed Pump Makes Sense

Single-speed pumps like the SuperFlo 348190 are appropriate for:

• Smaller pools (under 15,000 gallons) where run times are naturally shorter
• Dedicated water feature pumps requiring consistent flow
• Budget-limited installations where upfront cost is a primary concern
• Simple pool systems without automation or complex equipment
• Backup or secondary pumps

⚡ Consider Variable Speed If:

• Your pool is larger than 20,000 gallons
• You run your pump more than 8 hours daily
• Electricity rates in your area exceed $0.20/kWh
• You want the ability to adjust flow for different operations
• Long-term energy savings are a priority

💡 Pro Tip: While variable speed pumps offer 50-90% energy savings over single-speed pumps, they also cost 3-4 times more upfront. For small pools with moderate run times, the SuperFlo 348190 provides excellent value with its NEMA Premium Efficient motor.
