Compact residential swimming pools, plunge pools, and smaller recirculation systems can utilize the ONGA Pantera 550 for stable filtration and daily pool water movement. Its high-performance hydraulic design is developed for pool environments requiring dependable operation together with enhanced protection against moisture ingress and outdoor operating exposure.
Hydraulic performance reaches approximately 230 L/Min with maximum head capability extending to approximately 16 m under operating conditions. The pump operates through a single-phase 240V motor delivering 0.83 kW input power with 0.55 kW motor output while drawing rated current of 3.6 A. A nominal 0.75 HP configuration supports balanced circulation performance for continuous residential pool filtration service.
Pool water movement is maintained through a high-performance centrifugal hydraulic arrangement designed for smooth recirculation and efficient turnover characteristics. Self-aligning 40 mm barrel unions assist installation alignment and servicing access, while the elevated motor foot configuration helps minimise moisture exposure around the motor assembly during operation.
Manufactured using 20% glass filled ABS materials, the hydraulic body is developed for long-term durability within chemically treated pool environments. The pump incorporates five levels of corrosion resistance including a nylon shaft sleeve with integrated flinger, moulded end-shield protection, and lip-seal motor protection. Additional engineering features include a mechanical seal arrangement with stainless steel components, TEFC motor configuration, IPX5 protection rating, and Class F motor insulation.
