Hayward Industries
XE Series Ultra-High Efficiency Pumps are built to deliver maximum energy savings, while cutting equipment costs by more than a third.

And because they include flexible dual-voltage capability (230V/115V) and standard CPVC unions (2 inches x 2.5 inches), XE Series Pumps are just as easy to install as they are to use.

The ozone is diffused into a unique AquaStar Ozone Compatible FlowStar Skimmer for maximum contact, treating the water immediately as it is drawn through the skimmer by the pump.
