Why this pump stands out

Unlike single-speed models, the Gecko Aqua Flo FMHP offers true dual-speed operation, letting you tailor flow to the task at hand. Use low speed for routine filtration to minimize energy use and noise, and switch to high speed for backwashing, heating coordination, or when you need a quick boost in circulation. The 2.0 HP motor delivers ample head for larger systems, ensuring steady flow even when several accessories are in play.

What problems it solves

• Efficient filtration with adjustable flow to match pool or spa size and turnover goals
• Quieter operation and reduced energy costs at low speed
• Flexible installation options thanks to versatile coupling: FPT and MBT threaded connections
• Reliable, long-term performance with a robust 48-frame motor designed for continuous duty

Ideal for

This pump is well-suited for mid-to-large residential pools and spas, equipment setups that require higher head, or configurations where variable flow is essential for heaters, salt systems, or multiple water features. If you’re upgrading from a single-speed pump or designing a new filtration loop, the FMHP’s two-speed capability helps you optimize both performance and energy use.

Practical use cases and tips

• Set the low speed for standard nightly filtration to extend filter life and save energy.
• Engage high speed during backwash cycles or when you need rapid circulation through heaters or UV sterilizers.
• Leverage the 1-1/2" suction and discharge to fit common plumbing layouts; take advantage of MBT or FPT connections as needed.
• Plan installation around the drain plug positions (6 and 9 o’clock) for maintenance access and winterization routines.

Installation and maintenance for lasting performance

• Ensure a proper 230V circuit with appropriate protection and wiring gauge for the motor’s two-speed operation.
• Confirm plumbing alignment with 1-1/2" lines and adapt using MBT or FPT adapters as required.
• Regularly check for secure electrical connections and clean any debris from the pump housing to maintain optimal flow.
• Inspect seals and gaskets during routine service intervals to prevent leaks and preserve efficiency.
