Poolstar Freeflo Racer filtration pump motor cooling fan 0.55kW–1.10kW - R0035

Poolstar Freeflo Racer filtration pump motor cooling fan 0.55kW–1.10kW

This is the OEM motor cooling fan (hélice de ventilateur de moteur) for the Poolstar Freeflo Racer filtration pump. It mounts directly onto the rear shaft of the pump motor and draws air across the motor housing to dissipate heat generated during continuous filtration cycles.

What this motor cooling fan does in the Freeflo Racer

The fan spins with the motor shaft and forces ambient air over the motor casing, keeping operating temperature within the design envelope. Without effective cooling, a pool filtration motor running long daily cycles overheats, degrades winding insulation, and trips thermal cut-outs. Replacing a cracked or broken fan restores full airflow immediately.

Which Freeflo Racer models it fits

This fan is specified for the Poolstar Freeflo Racer filtration pump across the 0.55 kW (0.75 hp) to 1.10 kW (1.5 hp) motor power range. Confirm your motor’s rated output on the nameplate before ordering — pump motors outside this power band use a different fan geometry and blade count.

Signs it needs replacing

Visible symptoms include cracked or missing blades, the motor running noticeably hotter than usual, repeated thermal-cutout trips with no other fault present, and audible rattling or imbalance noise from the rear of the pump during operation. Any blade damage is cause for immediate replacement — even a single missing blade causes vibration that accelerates bearing wear.

How to install it

Switch off and isolate the pump from mains power. Remove the fan cowl (typically two or four screws). The fan is friction- or circlip-retained on the motor shaft end; slide or lever it off, fit the new fan, and refit the cowl. The full job takes around 10–15 minutes with a flat-blade screwdriver and circlip pliers if a retaining clip is present.
