The Waterco Hydrostorm Plus 250 is a high-performance single-speed swimming pool pump designed for large domestic and commercial pool systems that require higher flow rates and stronger hydraulic performance. Built with a durable glass-filled thermoplastic pump body and corrosion-resistant internal components, the pump is engineered to withstand harsh pool chemicals and continuous outdoor operation.
Powered by a 2.5 HP (1.92 kW) single-phase motor, the Hydrostorm Plus 250 delivers up to approximately 470 litres per minute at 8 m head (around 440 LPM at 10 m). Its hydraulically efficient impeller and diffuser design maximises flow while minimising turbulence, improving filtration efficiency and reducing pump operating time.
The Hydrostorm Plus series includes an improved lid and lock-ring system for easier maintenance and a larger strainer basket for greater debris capacity. Designed for demanding pool systems with additional equipment such as water features, spa jets and in-floor cleaning systems, the pump provides reliable circulation for high-flow pool installations.
