ProAqua Kraken 3.5 THP PA-VSP390 Variable-Speed Pool Pump

The ProAqua Kraken PA-VSP390 is a 3.5 THP variable-speed pump designed for inground pools requiring powerful, quiet, and energy-efficient circulation. It operates on a 230 V power supply and allows you to program filtration cycles and motor speed according to the installation’s needs.

With a maximum flow rate of up to 180 GPM, it is particularly well suited to larger pools, longer plumbing circuits, and systems with multiple pieces of equipment.

Variable speed to adapt circulation to the pool’s needs

Unlike a single-speed pump that constantly operates at full power, the Kraken PA-VSP390 allows you to adjust the speed according to the task at hand.

It can be programmed for, among other things:

• daily low-speed filtration;
• water heater operation;
• pool cleaning;
• periods of intensive circulation;
• powering certain water features;
• system priming and startup.

A speed suited to each use can help reduce electricity consumption, noise, and unnecessary system wear.

Filtration cycle programming

The integrated control panel allows you to customize operating periods and speeds. This programming helps maintain consistent circulation while adjusting the pump’s power to the pool’s actual needs.

Actual energy savings vary depending on programming, operating time, plumbing, and installed equipment.

High flow capacity: up to 180 GPM

With its 3.5 THP power and maximum flow rate of up to 180 GPM, the Kraken PA-VSP390 is suitable for installations requiring greater circulation.

• Residential inground pools
• Systems with multiple water returns
• Installations with heaters
• Longer plumbing circuits
• Equipment requiring high circulation
• Replacement of a high-power pump

Sizing must always be validated based on the filter, plumbing, and pool equipment.

Quiet operation at low speed

At low speed, the pump can operate at approximately 42 dB, depending on installation conditions. Reducing the speed also helps decrease vibrations and pressure on the plumbing.

Simplified installation and maintenance

The Kraken PA-VSP390 uses a 2 in main connection and includes 1.5 in adapters to facilitate integration with different plumbing configurations.

• Self-priming design
• Large-capacity strainer basket
• Transparent lid
• Integrated handle
• Easy access to the basket for maintenance

Technical specifications

Compatibility and sizing

Before purchasing, it is recommended to check the maximum flow accepted by the filter, the plumbing diameter, heater capacity, return and suction configuration, and the power of the pump being replaced.

A pump that is too powerful for the filter or plumbing can impair system performance. Professional validation is recommended.
