Swimables 2HP Impeller Replacement for WhisperFlo Pumps | 073130 SW-21-005
Restore Your Pump’s Power and Efficiency
When your pool pump isn’t moving water like it used to, chances are the impeller is worn, cracked, or clogged. The Swimables 2HP Impeller Replacement (073130 SW-21-005) is designed to restore the full performance of your Pentair WhisperFlo 2HP pump. This direct replacement part ensures your pump runs at its intended horsepower, keeps water circulating effectively, and protects the rest of your pool system from unnecessary strain.
An impeller is the heart of your pool pump, drawing water in and pushing it through the filter, heater, and return system. Without a properly functioning impeller, water flow decreases, pressure drops, and your pool equipment suffers. Installing a new Swimables impeller brings your pump back to life and saves you the expense of a full pump replacement.
