AstralPool - Bronze Impeller 3 HP – Aral SP-3000 Pump - 4405050211

AstralPool – Bronze Impeller 3 HP – Aral SP-3000 Pump

This is the genuine AstralPool bronze impeller rated at 3 HP, designed as a direct replacement for the Aral SP-3000 pool pump (position 12B in the official Fluidra exploded view). The impeller is the core rotating component responsible for drawing water into the pump and propelling it through the filtration circuit. The bronze construction makes it especially suited to demanding environments where superior corrosion resistance is required.

Compatibility

This impeller fits the AstralPool Aral SP-3000 pump family and corresponds to exploded-view position 12B in the official Fluidra Pool Spare Parts Catalogue (parent reference 1188). Always verify your pump model and power rating before ordering — this part is specific to the 3 HP variant; separate bronze impellers are available for 2 HP, 4 HP, and 5.5 HP ratings within the same range.

Why Genuine Bronze Matters

Bronze offers significantly greater resistance to corrosion and wear compared to standard thermoplastic impellers, making it the preferred choice for high-duty or salt-affected installations. Using a genuine OEM part ensures the impeller geometry, tolerances, and balance match the original design exactly, protecting pump efficiency and motor longevity. Aftermarket alternatives may alter flow characteristics and can void any remaining pump warranty.

Installation

Fitting a replacement impeller requires draining the pump, removing the motor assembly, and carefully threading or securing the impeller onto the pump shaft — professional installation is recommended for those unfamiliar with pool pump mechanics. Refer to the official Fluidra exploded-view diagram (position 12B) to confirm correct orientation and torque. Always inspect the mechanical seal and diffuser for wear at the same time to avoid repeat disassembly.
