Australian Spa Parts

The following flow rate data is compiled from information gathered from multiple sources.

Australian Spa Parts will not be held responsible for the accuracy of the following data or any injury or damage that may result from it's use.

The following pump flow rates are APPROXIMATE for normal spa system pressures.
Use this information to assist in determining appropriate Safety Suction Outlets you may require to install or replace.
New suction standards require fully approved and tested fittings to be supplied and installed in accordance with AS1926.3
You must ensure that every pump installed have either 1 x safety suction and a skimmer, or a minimum of 2 x safety suctions. Each suctions specified flow rate must meet/exceed the pump / spa system flow rate. ie if a pump flow rate is 400 lpm, EACH suction must be at least 400lpm rated (NOT 400lpm combined) Overall combined flow rate of multiple suctions must meet/exceed double the pump/system flow rate - this is particularly important when high flow pumps are installed with lower rated suction outlets.
Exemptions - low flow circulation pump with suction plumbed to a skim filter and approved/tested swimjets with integral suctions in their design.

See the Suction category for approved suction outlets and their flow rate data.
