Pool filtration systems servicing plunge pools, swim spas, and residential pools can utilize the Davey DEFE245 for energy-efficient water circulation with programmable variable speed operation. Its self-priming hydraulic arrangement supports dependable recirculation performance while maintaining smooth flow behaviour across filtration, heating, and in-floor cleaning applications.
Maximum hydraulic performance reaches 345 L/Min with head capability extending to 15.4 m. The pump operates through a single-phase 240V motor utilizing 0.9 kW input power while drawing rated current of 6.1 A during operation. Three programmable speed settings allow adjustment between Eco Flow, Mid Flow, and High Flow operating modes to balance circulation demand and energy consumption.
Water movement is assisted through a variable speed centrifugal hydraulic configuration developed to improve flow efficiency while reducing operating turbulence. The self-priming design supports restoration of circulation after temporary suction interruption, while the integrated large-capacity leaf basket assists debris collection before water enters the hydraulic section.
Reinforced thermoplastic construction supports durability within wet operating environments and pool equipment installations. The pump incorporates 50 mm inlet and outlet connections together with quick-coupling barrel unions for simplified installation and servicing access. Smart Motor Protection and thermal overload protection are integrated into the motor assembly to assist operational safety during continuous filtration duty.
