Astralpool / Hurlcon Impeller 1.0HP TX / BX Three Phase 40060FE
This is the genuine Astralpool impeller, part number 40060FE, for 1.0HP three-phase Astralpool / Hurlcon TX and BX pool pumps. Single-phase 1.0HP pumps take a different impeller, 40060F.
- Physically Stocked, unlike most "drop-shipping" websites.
- Shipped from VIC, NSW, WA, QLD
The Horsepower and Phase Rule (rev. HPR-1.0)
TX, BX and XP impellers are matched to the horsepower of the motor, and most horsepower ratings have separate single-phase and three-phase impellers. The XP pump superseded the BX, and Astralpool's XP-Series parts list uses the same impeller part numbers. Work through these steps before ordering:
- Read the model and horsepower on the pump label. You are looking for TX, BX or XP and the horsepower, for example BX 2.0.
- Check the phase on the motor data plate. Astralpool's pump manual lists its single-phase pumps at 240V and its three-phase pumps at 415V.
- Match both to the table below. Where the table lists a three-phase impeller, a three-phase pump takes that part, not the single-phase one.
- If the labels are unreadable, send us photos of the pump label, the motor data plate and the old impeller. We would rather identify it for you than have it come back.
Which TX / BX / XP Impeller Do I Need?
| Horsepower | Single phase | Three phase |
|---|---|---|
| 0.75HP (TX) | 40060R | Not listed |
| 1.0HP | 40060F | 40060FE - this product |
| 1.5HP | 40060G | 40060GE |
| 2.0HP | 40060H | 40060HE |
| 3.0HP | 40060N | 40060NE |
| 4.0HP | Not listed | 40060PE |
Sources: Astralpool 2019-20 catalogue and the current Astralpool XP-Series parts list. 40060FE is named in its part description as the 1.0HP TX / BX three-phase impeller. The XP-Series list does not show a separate 1HP three-phase impeller, so if you have an XP 1HP three-phase pump, send us a photo of the pump label before ordering.
Fit a New Mechanical Seal at the Same Time
The pumps this impeller fits use the 3/4" Type 6 mechanical seal, part PS3868 / 75509. Earlier Astralpool catalogues show the BX / TX / CX / E / CTX seal as 75508.
The two seal faces separate when the impeller is removed from the motor shaft, and a disturbed seal can leak under the pump once it is back in service. We recommend fitting a new seal every time the impeller is changed.

Three-Phase Fitting Notes
- Astralpool's XP manual requires three-phase XP pumps to be hard-wired, and the electrician must check the direction of rotation against the arrow on the seal plate.
- Astralpool's XP-Series parts list includes an impeller bolt (78187) and the o-ring listed with it (78711) for three-phase pumps. If your pump has them, inspect both while the impeller is off and replace them if they are worn or damaged.
- Three-phase electrical work must be carried out by a licensed electrician.
Symptoms of a Failed or Worn Impeller
- The motor runs normally but flow and filter pressure are down
- Noise or humming from the pump. Astralpool lists the impeller as a possible cause, along with the bearings, mechanical seal, capacitor and motor
- The pump will not run because debris is jammed in the impeller. Astralpool notes that a damaged hair and lint basket can let debris through to the impeller
- Vanes worn, chipped or cracked
If the impeller is jammed, check whether it can be freed before replacing it. Astralpool treats debris jammed in the impeller as general maintenance rather than a warranty fault, and warns that running a pump dry for any length of time causes severe damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit a single-phase 1.0HP pump?
No. Astralpool lists 40060F for single-phase 1.0HP TX, BX and XP pumps. This impeller is for three-phase TX and BX pumps.
Does it fit an Astralpool XP pump?
Astralpool's current XP-Series parts list does not show a separate 1HP three-phase impeller. If you have an XP 1HP three-phase pump, send us photos of the pump label and motor data plate before ordering.
How do I tell if my pump is three phase?
Check the motor data plate. Astralpool's pump manual lists its single-phase pumps at 240V and its three-phase pumps at 415V. If the plate is unreadable, send us a photo of the pump label and motor.
Can I fit a larger impeller to get more flow?
No. Each impeller is matched to the horsepower of its motor. A larger impeller asks more of the motor than it was designed to deliver.
Do I need a new mechanical seal when I replace the impeller?
We recommend it. The seal faces separate when the impeller comes off, and a disturbed seal can leak once the pump is back in service. These pumps use the 3/4" Type 6 mechanical seal, PS3868 / 75509.
Is this a genuine Astralpool part?
Yes. We are an authorised Astralpool and Fluidra dealer and warranty agent, and this is the genuine 40060FE impeller.

To the layperson, plumbing sizes and their names can be confusing due to the nominal sizes and naming conventions used.
This is not something we made up. Plumbers and manufacturers have used nominal (meaning ‘by name only’) sizing for decades.
Simply put, in plumbing, named sizes are often not the actual measurements of the pipe, fitting, or part. A PVC pipe called “50mm” or “2"” does not measure 50 mm anywhere. Instead, it follows nominal sizing, an internationally-standardised naming system.
Almost all fittings we use in the pool & spa industry use “pressure PVC” pipe & fittings. Do not confuse with “DWV” or other pipe & fittings and their names and sizes.
Use the Outside Diameter (OD) to check your pipe against fittings. Below is a quick reference for common spa & pool pipe sizes:
| Imperial Name | Metric Name | Pipe Diameter (OD) |
|---|---|---|
| 1/2" | 15mm | ~21.2–21.5 mm |
| 3/4" | 20mm | ~26.6–26.9 mm |
| 1" | 25 mm | ~33.4–33.7 mm |
| 1.5" | 40 mm | ~48.1–48.4 mm |
| 2" | 50 mm | ~60.2–60.8 mm |
| 2.5" | 65 mm | ~75.2–75.5 mm |
To reiterate, these are nominal sizes and are designed to fit matching fittings — not to measure what their name suggests. These are based on PVC Pressure Pipe AS/NZ 1477 Dimensions1.
- º Internal diameters vary slightly by manufacturer and class.
- 1 Not all pool/spa fittings match these dimensions exactly. Some do not follow Australian or international standards. Chinese spas may use proprietary fittings.
Understanding Plumbing Sizes & Nominal Measurements
Plumbing sizes can be confusing. PVC and many other pipe systems use nominal sizes—the size is a name, not the exact measured dimension. This convention is used across most pool and spa systems and other plumbing areas so that pipes and fittings remain compatible.
Why pipe sizes don’t match the measurements
The Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) system standardises pipe dimensions so that pipes, fittings, valves, and accessories interoperate.
Plumbers work with these nominal names every day, but DIYers can be tripped up if they try to match by a tape-measure alone.
How to Measure Pipe Correctly
-
Pipe size is identified by:
- The pipe’s Outside Diameter (OD).
- The fitting’s Inside Diameter (ID) (socket opening).
- Pipe Class / Schedule (e.g., Class 9, 12, 18 or Sch 40) relates to wall thickness and therefore the Internal Diameter (ID) and pressure rating.
- The outside diameter of a fitting is not useful (wall thickness varies by manufacturer).
Hose & Tube Dimensions
Common flexible hose sizes used in pool/spa systems (approximate IDs).
| Imperial Name | Metric Name | Inside Diameter (ID) |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" | 9–10 mm | ~9 mm |
| 3/4" | 19 mm | ~19 mm |
BSP – British Standard Pipe Thread Sizes
BSP thread names are also nominal. The thread OD will not equal the nominal name.
| BSP Thread Size Naming | Outside Diameter (mm / inch) | TPI |
|---|---|---|
| 1/16" BSP | 7.7 mm / 0.304" | 28 |
| 1/8" BSP | 9.7 mm / 0.383" | 28 |
| 1/4" BSP | 13.16 mm / 0.518" | 19 |
| 3/8" BSP | 16.66 mm / 0.656" | 19 |
| 1/2" BSP / 15 mm | 20.99 mm / 0.825" | 14 |
| 5/8" BSP | 22.99 mm / 0.902" | 14 |
| 3/4" BSP / 20 mm | 26.44 mm / 1.041" | 14 |
| 7/8" BSP | 30.20 mm / 1.189" | 14 |
| 1" BSP / 25 mm | 33.25 mm / 1.309" | 11 |
| 1-1/4" BSP | 41.91 mm / 1.650" | 11 |
| 1-1/2" BSP / 40 mm | 47.80 mm / 1.882" | 11 |
| 2" BSP / 50 mm | 59.61 mm / 2.347" | 11 |
| 2-1/4" BSP | 65.71 mm / 2.587" | 11 |
| 2-1/2" BSP | 75.18 mm / 2.960" | 11 |
| 3" BSP | 87.88 mm / 3.460" | 11 |
| 4" BSP | 113.03 mm / 4.450" | 11 |
| 5" BSP | 138.43 mm / 5.450" | 11 |
