Can a single phase pool pump be used with a Superflo pump?
The SuperFlo pool pump is meant for any inground pool that needs a pump of up to 1.5-HP single phase. When replacing a single speed pump or variable speed with a SuperFlo you need not rewire the circuit. The SuperFlo pump will automatically detect if it’s connected to 120 Volt or 240 Volts. It then adapts to that power setting.
