Astralpool BLDC 1.0 HP Pump Motor 71420 - Brushless DC Variable Speed Motor
This is the genuine Astralpool BLDC 1.0 HP pump motor, part number 71420. Fluidra describes it as the Motor BLDC 1.0HP. Fluidra's 2.0 HP version, 71422, is the motor on the Viron eVo P600 parts list published by Astralpool dealers. The parts lists available to us do not name the pump 71420 was supplied for, so please confirm your motor with us before ordering. One motor per pump.
- Physically Stocked, unlike most "drop-shipping" websites.
- Shipped from VIC, NSW, WA, QLD
Compatibility: Confirm Before Ordering
Ask first, every time. What the lists do show:
- Viron eVo P320: controller 21483, Controller BLDC 1 HP, item 20. The eVo P320 parts list we checked gives no motor part number.
- Viron eVo P600: motor 71422, BLDC 2.0 HP, item 21.
- Viron XT P320: motor 71460 on Astralpool's XT lists, not 71420. Fluidra also lists SP71660, the Viron XT P320 motor with slinger.
Send us a photo of your motor's data plate and we will confirm 71420 before you order.
Not this motor: the Viron XT P320 lists motor 71460 (Fluidra also lists SP71660, the version with slinger), the Viron XT P520 lists 71462 (SP71662 with slinger), and the Viron eVo P600 lists 71422. Single speed pumps take a different motor.

The BLDC Motor Rule (rev. BLDC1-1.0)
This motor must be confirmed against your data plate before ordering:
- Read the motor data plate. 71420 on the plate: this is the motor. Any other number, send us a photo first.
- Viron XT P320? Different motor. Astralpool's XT lists give 71460 for the P320. Fluidra also lists SP71660, the Viron XT P320 motor with slinger.
- Viron eVo P600? Different motor. The eVo P600 takes the 2.0 HP 71422.
- Match the controller. Fluidra lists the BLDC controllers by size: 21483, Controller BLDC 1 HP (item 20 on the eVo P320 list), and 21482, Controller Box BLDC 2 HP (eVo P600). Do not mix sizes.
Before You Replace the Motor
Before condemning the motor, isolate the power and check whether the impeller can move freely: something jammed in the impeller can stop the pump without a motor fault. If the shaft turns freely and the pump still will not run, have the motor and controller tested, because a controller fault can look like a motor fault.
Which Part Do I Need?

| Viron eVo P320 controller faulty | Controller BLDC 1 HP 21483 |

Fitting Notes
Isolate the pump at the power point or switchboard before any work. Astralpool's Viron manuals say the pump must be installed and serviced by a licensed electrician in accordance with AS/NZS 3000.
- Photograph the pump badge, the motor data plate and the controller label before dismantling.
- Separate the motor from the wet end and inspect the impeller, mechanical seal, seal plate and O-ring.
- Fit a new mechanical seal if the old one was leaking or is worn, and transfer or replace the fan, clip and cowl.
- Refit the matching controller for the pump model, then have the electrician test the pump.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which pump does the 71420 motor fit?
Fluidra describes it as a 1.0 HP brushless DC motor, but the parts lists available to us do not name the pump. Send us a photo of your motor data plate and we will confirm before you order.
Is it the Viron eVo P320 motor?
The Viron eVo P320 uses the 1 HP controller 21483, but the eVo P320 parts list we checked gives no motor number, so we confirm from your data plate.
Is it the Viron XT P320 motor?
No. Astralpool's XT lists give 71460 for the Viron XT P320, and Fluidra lists SP71660 as the Viron XT P320 motor with slinger.
Is this a genuine Astralpool part?
Yes. Heater and Spa Parts is an authorised Fluidra (Astralpool and Zodiac) dealer and warranty agent, and 71420 is the genuine Astralpool part, barcode 9343609001926.
Can I fit the motor myself?
No. Astralpool's Viron manuals say the pump must be installed and serviced by a licensed electrician in accordance with AS/NZS 3000. As with all of our products, it must be diagnosed and fitted by a qualified and experienced person.

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 |
