Filtermaster SPH100 Swimming Pool Pump

About

• The Filtermaster FM SPH100 (1.0 hp) pump is designed for medium to large residential pools, typically ranging from 60,000 to 80,000 liters.

  This model provides a noticeable step up in power and flow rate compared to the 3/4 hp model, making it a better choice for pools with more complex plumbing or higher filtration demands.

  Performance Specifications

  • Flow Rate: Approximately 360 liters per minute (LPM).

  • Max Head: 16 meters (stronger vertical push than the SPH75).

  • Hourly Turnover: It can move about 21,600 liters per hour.

  • Power: 0.75 kW (1.0 Horsepower).

  Suitable Pool Sizes

  To maintain clear water, your pump should be able to "turn over" the entire volume of your pool in about 6–8 hours.

  Pool Type	Recommended Volume	Turnover Notes
  Standard Outdoor	60,000 – 80,000 Liters	Ideal for standard 8-hour filtration cycles.
  Large/Heavy Use	Up to 60,000 Liters	High turnover; great for pools with high "bather load."
  Pool with Solar	50,000 – 70,000 Liters	Recommended if pushing water up to roof-mounted solar.

• Things to Check

  • Filter size: Your filter also needs to match the pump’s flow rate — too small a filter can bottleneck the system.

  • Plumbing diameter & head: Smaller pipe sizes or extra fittings/height can reduce effective flow, so real-world performance may vary a bit. 

Because every pool setup has different levels of resistance (distance from the pool, pipe size, and height), its effectiveness varies. Below is a breakdown of how it fits different pool sizes and setups.
