Magic 4 1/4HP 1550GPH

Self priming external pump for high flow pond and pool circulation

Magic 4 1/4HP 1550GPH is a dry mounted pump from Speck Pumps, suited to dry mounted circulation, large filters, waterfalls, streams or pool style installations. It is listed with a maximum flow rate of 7050 LPH, a maximum head height of 4m, a maximum power consumption of 0.18 kW.

The right pump should be chosen by looking at real-world flow, not just the headline litres per hour. Vertical lift, pipe length, bends, valves, UV clarifiers, filters and hose size all reduce the final flow at the outlet, so it is usually better to size the pump with the complete installation in mind.

Where cable length, connection size, installation style or controller compatibility has been confirmed, this has been included in the technical information below so the pump is easier to match to the rest of the system.

This is a self priming pump, so it is better suited to external pump installations where the pump may need to draw water from a strainer pot or pool style circulation line, provided it is installed correctly and kept primed.

Installation and sizing advice

Use the largest sensible hose or pressure pipe size to reduce friction loss and protect real-world flow. Allow for vertical lift, pipe length, bends, valves, UV clarifiers and filters before choosing the final pump size.

Keep pump cages, strainers and prefilters clean so the pump can run efficiently. Never run the pump dry and always follow the manufacturer installation guidance for wet or dry mounted use.

Related Pump and Pipework Options

Dry mounted pumps often need more careful pipework planning than standard submersible pumps, so it is worth checking the inlet, outlet and plumbing before ordering.
