Zodiac FloPro SS Pool Pump

The FloPro SS range covers 0.75 hp (WP000070), 1 hp (WP000071), 1.5 hp (WP000072) and 2 hp (WP000073). Smaller courtyard and plunge pools usually suit 0.75 or 1 hp, standard family pools suit 1.5 hp, and larger pools or those with solar, heating or in-floor cleaning generally need the 2 hp. Flow requirements are set by your plumbing and equipment as much as pool volume, so we confirm sizing before you buy.

Rated maximum noise runs from 56.4 to 64 dBA depending on model. The 0.75 hp is the quietest in the range at around 56 dBA, which is comparable to normal conversation. If your pump sits near a deck, bedroom or shared boundary, this is worth weighing up against raw flow rate, and it is something we discuss on site.

Rated models consume between 1,146 and 1,319 kWh per year. At Auckland electricity rates of roughly 35 to 40 cents per kWh, that puts annual running costs in the several hundred dollar range depending on model and run hours. If lowest possible running cost is your priority, ask us to compare the FloPro SS against a variable speed option such as the Viron XT before you commit.

Yes. The FloPro SS is a fixed speed pump, which makes it simple, reliable and cost effective up front. It runs at one output whenever it is on, so daily run time is the main lever you have over energy use. Variable speed pumps cost more initially but run at reduced speed for most of the day, which is where the savings come from. We can show you the difference over a five year view.

The FloPro SS uses 50 mm barrel unions, which is standard on most Auckland residential pool installations, so it is generally a direct swap for an older pump. Where the existing plant has been modified or uses non standard fittings, we adapt on site. Our technicians check this during the quote so the install runs to time.

The cam lock lid with alignment indicators means you can open and close the lid correctly by hand without tools and without over tightening, which is the most common cause of lid seal failure. The clear view lint basket lets you see at a glance whether it needs emptying, which encourages regular clearing and protects the pump from running restricted.

Yes. Pool pumps must be connected by a registered electrician in New Zealand. Sparkling Pools has a qualified electrician on the team, so you get supply, install and electrical connection in one visit and one quote, with the compliance handled properly rather than left to you to organise.

With correct sizing, regular basket clearing and balanced water, a quality pool pump generally gives many years of service. Lifespan is shortened most often by running dry, salt corrosion from unbalanced water, and poor plant area drainage. We check pump condition at every service visit and flag wear early, which usually means a planned replacement rather than an emergency one in the middle of summer.

The FloPro SS carries a manufacturer backed warranty, with the term and conditions set by Zodiac and dependent on the model, installation and how the pump is maintained. Your purchase is also covered by the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act. We handle warranty registration, assess any fault ourselves first, and coordinate the claim with the supplier on your behalf.

An online listing cannot tell you whether 1 hp or 1.5 hp is right for your pool, and getting that wrong costs you either performance or power. We have serviced Auckland pools since 1992, we size the pump against your actual plumbing and equipment, we install it legally with a qualified electrician, and we are the ones you call if anything goes wrong.
