Onga Pantera Eco – Variable Speed Pool Pump | PPP-800-VS | 3 Programmable Speeds
Stop overpaying to run your pool pump. The Onga Pantera Eco is a premium variable speed pool pump built for Australian residential pools — delivering up to 80% energy savings over conventional single-speed pumps through advanced axial flux, brushless permanent magnet motor technology. Three programmable speed settings allow you to match pump output precisely to your pool's filtration, cleaning, and water feature requirements at any time of day — paying less to run your pump without compromising performance.
Key Specifications:

- Programmable Speeds: 3 user-programmable speed settings
- Plumbing Connection: 40mm internal / 50mm external spigot — AS/NZS PVC pressure pipe
- Unions: Self-aligning barrel unions
- Priming: Adjustable priming speed — duration up to 2 hours
- Corrosion Resistance: 5 levels — including plastic yoke and lip seal
- Motor Rating: Continuous duty rated
- Fault Protection: Yes — automatic motor shutdown on fault detection
3 Programmable Speeds — Set It and Forget It: The Pantera Eco's three programmable speed settings allow you to dial in the exact flow rate for every task your pool requires:
- Low speed — energy-efficient background filtration during off-peak hours, running for longer at dramatically reduced cost
- Mid speed — balanced filtration for standard daily pool use and salt chlorinator operation
- High speed — full power for pool cleaner operation, water features, and spa jets
Features & Benefits:
- Save up to 80% on pool pump running costs — axial flux variable speed technology reduces energy consumption far beyond what standard single-speed or basic two-speed pumps can achieve
- Axial flux brushless permanent magnet motor — the most advanced motor technology available in residential pool pumps, delivering maximum efficiency, exceptional longevity, and near-silent operation at low speeds
- 3 programmable speeds — easily customise output for filtration, cleaning, water features, and spa operation without wasting energy
- Near-silent low-speed operation — run your pump at night or early morning without disturbing neighbours or household
- Fault-protected motor — automatically shuts down in the event of locked rotor, under voltage, over voltage, over current, or high temperature events, preventing motor damage and extending pump life significantly
- 5 levels of corrosion resistance — including plastic yoke and lip seal — comprehensive protection against water ingress and corrosion for maximum motor longevity in demanding Australian pool environments
- Heavy-duty construction with continuous-duty rated motor — built to handle demanding, extended operation without performance degradation
- Self-aligning barrel unions — accommodate askew plumbing alignments, making installation straightforward even in tight or poorly aligned equipment pad configurations
- 40mm internal / 50mm external spigot — suits standard AS/NZS PVC pressure pipe for easy connection to existing plumbing
- Adjustable priming speed with duration of up to 2 hours — ensures reliable, consistent priming even in challenging installations with long suction runs or elevation changes
- Moving water more effectively at lower speeds enhances overall pool performance — better filtration efficiency, reduced chemical consumption, and improved water clarity
The Real Cost of Running a Single-Speed Pump vs the Pantera Eco: A typical single-speed pump running at full speed consumes significant energy every hour — with the Pantera Eco running at low speed for extended periods, the same filtration result is achieved at a fraction of the energy cost. Most pool owners achieve full return on investment within 1–2 seasons through electricity savings alone.
Important Notes:
- Installation must be carried out by a licensed plumber or pool technician — self-aligning unions and plumbing connections require correct pressure pipe installation in accordance with AS/NZS standards
- Electrical connection must be carried out by a licensed electrician
- Confirm correct pump sizing for your pool before ordering — contact us if you need assistance selecting the right Pantera Eco model for your pool
