installation, operation and maintenance of Jandy Pro 

Series Water Features (WFTR) Pumps. Procedures in this

2.2 Description

WFTR Pumps are designed to meet the needs of today’s 

more hydraulically demanding pool equipment. The 

pump housing, backplate, diffuser, hair and lint pot 

(pump debris filter basket), and impeller are all made 

from high quality thermoplastic materials. These 

materials were chosen for their strength and corrosion 

resistance.

The pump is driven by an electric motor directly attached 

to the pump impeller. As the electric motor turns, it 

causes the impeller to turn, which forces water to flow 

through the pump. The water flows through the pump 

inlet and then into the filter basket. The basket assembly 

pre-strains/traps large particles. The water then enters the 

center of the pump housing, flows through the impeller 

into the diffuser, and then flows out the pump discharge 

port.
