Description
Why choose the Aqua-Flo FMXP2 for your pumping needs? This dual-speed motor lets you switch between two practical operating modes: a high-speed setting that delivers maximum flow for demanding cleanings or rapid water movement, and a low-speed setting that powers efficient filtration with reduced energy consumption. With a confirmed high-speed current draw of 13.1 amps and a low-speed draw of 3.3 amps, you gain meaningful control over system performance and operating costs without sacrificing reliability.

How this motor fits into real-world setups
Ideal for residential pools, spas, and larger water features where you want precise control over flow and energy use. If your system cycles between heavy cleaning or backwashing and routine filtration, FMXP2 makes those transitions smoother and more cost-effective. The dual-speed design also helps reduce wear on filters and plumbing by allowing you to run at a lower speed whenever maximum throughput isn’t necessary.
What to expect in installation and operation
The FMXP2 is designed for straightforward integration with standard pump housings that accept a 48-frame motor and 2" MBT connections. The four-position orientability gives you the flexibility to align the motor with existing plumbing, minimizing changes to pipes and fittings. When diameter, voltage, and speed requirements align with your system, you can expect dependable performance with consistent pressure and head as conditions change (e.g., seasonal demand, added features, or varying pool circuit layouts).
Notes for buyers
Manufacturer disclaimer: Pump and motor manufacturers reserve the right to change motors on pumps or the style of motor without notice. While appearances may vary, the functionality remains the same. This means your FMXP2 might be shown with different motor configurations in catalogs or on shelves, but you’ll receive the same reliable performance and compatibility for your plumbing and electrical setup.
Who should consider the Aqua-Flo FMXP2
- Pool owners seeking energy-conscious operation without compromising cleaning power.
- Spa and backyard water-feature installers needing a reliable, adaptable motor with flexible orientation options.
- Service professionals upgrading aging pool pumps to a dual-speed, higher-efficiency solution.
Upgrade to the Aqua-Flo FMXP2 to experience solid, dependable performance with practical, real-world benefits—efficient filtration at low speed and robust circulation when you need it most, all while fitting neatly into standard 2" MBT plumbing and 48-frame pump configurations.
