The Reltech GEN3-50 is a compact single-speed swimming pool pump designed for residential pool and spa filtration systems. Part of the Reltech GEN3 Series, this pump is manufactured in Australia and engineered for high performance, low noise operation and reliable long-term use in domestic pool environments.
Powered by a 0.5 HP single-phase motor, the GEN3-50 provides efficient water circulation for small residential pools, spas and plunge pools. At a typical operating point of 8 m head, the pump delivers approximately 160 litres per minute, helping maintain effective filtration and water turnover.
The pump features a robust corrosion-resistant thermoplastic construction and a computer-designed impeller and diffuser system to maximise hydraulic efficiency while maintaining quiet operation. A totally enclosed fan-cooled motor with built-in thermal overload protection ensures safe continuous operation and extended motor life.
For simple installation and maintenance, the pump includes a large strainer basket with a clear inspection lid for easy debris removal. The suction and discharge ports support 40 mm or 50 mm PVC pool plumbing, allowing straightforward integration with most residential pool filtration systems.
