Astral CTX Pool Pump Range

Astral CTX Pool Pump Range

The Astral CTX is a single-speed pool pump range built for high performance and low maintenance, with four sizes covering everything from standard residential filtration up to demanding in-floor cleaning and spa jet applications. Every CTX pump shares a large lint pot for less frequent cleaning, an inbuilt non-return valve for easy priming, and a 30% glass-filled Noryl body built to handle Australian conditions. The CTX range is also a direct retrofit for older Hurlcon CX and TX pumps, sharing the same footprint for a straightforward swap with no plumbing changes.

Which Size Do I Need?

The right CTX size depends on your pool volume, plumbing and the demands of any in-floor cleaning or spa jet system. The CTX280C suits most standard residential filtration setups, while the CTX360C, CTX400C and CTX500C step up in flow rate and pressure for larger pools or higher-demand equipment. If you're unsure which size matches your current Hurlcon pump or pool setup, get in touch and we'll help you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the CTX fit my existing Hurlcon pump plumbing?
Yes — the CTX range shares the same footprint as the Hurlcon CX240, CX320, TX1.0, TX1.5 and TX2.0 pumps, so it's a like-for-like retrofit in most installations.

Are the CTX pumps energy efficient?
They're single-speed pumps, so running costs are higher than an equivalent variable-speed pump. For lower running costs, a variable-speed pump is a more energy-efficient alternative — our team can help you compare options.

What's covered under warranty?
Every CTX pump carries a 3-year manufacturer's warranty, with 2 years' cover on the mechanical seal.
