Every CTX pump shares a large\n    lint pot for less frequent cleaning, an inbuilt non-return valve for easy priming, and a\n    30% glass-filled Noryl body built to handle Australian conditions. The CTX range is also a\n    direct retrofit for older Hurlcon CX and TX pumps, sharing the same footprint for a\n    straightforward swap with no plumbing changes.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFour sizes to match your pool and equipment demands — 1.0HP to 2.0HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLarge-capacity strainer basket for less frequent cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInbuilt non-return valve for quick, hassle-free priming\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHigh head pressure and strong overall performance for demanding equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eQuiet running design suited to residential installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e30% glass-filled Noryl pump body for durability and chemical resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e50mm plumbing connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDirect retrofit for Hurlcon CX240, CX320, TX1.0, TX1.5 and TX2.0 pumps — no plumbing changes required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications — CTX Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003ctable class=\"dips-spec-table\"\u003e\n    \u003cthead\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCTX280C\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCTX360C\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCTX400C\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCTX500C\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/thead\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHorsepower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.00HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.25HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.50HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.00HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInput Power\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,070W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,140W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,650W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,900W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Flow Rate @ 8m head\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e280 L\/min\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e360 L\/min\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400 L\/min\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500 L\/min\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFull Load Amps\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.75A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.2A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.3A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEnergy Consumption\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,280 kWh\/yr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,353 kWh\/yr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,572 kWh\/yr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVoltage \/ Phase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"4\"\u003e240V, Single Phase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpeed Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"4\"\u003eSingle speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePump Body Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"4\"\u003e30% glass-filled Noryl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlumbing Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"4\"\u003e50mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"4\"\u003e3 years (2 years on mechanical seal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReplaces\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"4\"\u003eHurlcon CX240, CX320, TX1.0, TX1.5, TX2.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhich Size Do I Need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The right CTX size depends on your pool volume, plumbing and the demands of any in-floor\n    cleaning or spa jet system.
