The Hayward PowerFlo Matrix has been engineered as a uniquely superior above ground pool pump. With a single push of a button, this truly versatile pump changes from a vertical to a horizontal discharge and back again. The industrial-sized strainer basket is essential for collecting large debris, and requires minimal maintenance with longer times between cleanings. The heavy-duty, high-performance motor with an integrated automatic thermal overload protector provides years of reliable operation, while the quick disconnect intake and discharge allows for easy installation and maintenance.
