Model

The Filtermaster FM SPH150 (1.5 hp) is a high-performance pump designed for large residential pools, typically between 70,000 and 90,000 liters.

Because it moves a significant volume of water, it is the "workhorse" model often used for pools with extra features like waterfalls, solar heating, or extensive plumbing.

Performance Specifications

  • Flow Rate: Approximately 420 liters per minute (LPM).

  • Max Head: 18 meters (very strong vertical lift).

  • Hourly Turnover: It can circulate roughly 25,200 liters per hour.

  • Power: 1.1 kW (1.5 Horsepower).

Suitable Pool Sizes

To maintain high water quality, the pump should cycle your entire pool volume within 6 to 8 hours.

Pool Type Recommended Volume Usage Scenario
Standard Outdoor 70,000 – 90,000 Liters Perfect for large family pools.
Pool with Solar/Features 60,000 – 75,000 Liters Best if the pump needs to push water to a roof or power a fountain.
Heavy Bather Load Up to 70,000 Liters High-frequency turnover for busy pools.

    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.
