Perseus 460 Whirlpool Pump – Centre Suction | 1.9 HP Spa & Bath Pump
The Perseus 460 Whirlpool Pump (Centre Suction) is a high-performance replacement pump engineered for whirlpool baths, spas, and hot tubs. Running at 1.4 kW (1.9 HP) on a standard 230V / 50Hz supply, it delivers powerful and consistent water circulation while maintaining a near-silent operation — making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial installations.
Its centre suction, in-line inlet and outlet design simplifies installation into most standard whirlpool bath plumbing configurations. The wet end can be rotated to the 3, 9, or 12 o’clock position simply by adjusting the mounting bolts, giving you the flexibility needed to fit tight spaces or awkward cabinet layouts. All plumbing connections are 1.5-inch unions, and the unit arrives with a plain electrical cable pre-attached, ready for professional wiring.
A key feature of the Perseus 460 is its built-in pneumatic air switch, specifically designed for whirlpool bath applications. This allows safe, water-free activation of the pump from the bath surround — no electrical contacts near water.
Whether you’re replacing a failed pump or upgrading an existing system, the Perseus 460 is a reliable, low-noise solution trusted by spa engineers and bathroom fitters across the UK.

The Perseus 460 is designed for standard whirlpool bath, spa, and hot tub systems using 1.5-inch union plumbing connections and a 230V supply. We recommend confirming your existing pump’s plumbing and electrical specs before ordering. If unsure, contact our team at support@thewarmliving.com.
The Perseus 460 is designed for professional installation. Electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified electrician. The wet end rotation and 1.5" unions make fitting accessible, but all plumbing and wiring should be done by a competent installer.
Centre suction refers to the placement of the pump’s water inlet at the centre of the wet end housing. The in-line inlet and outlet design means both connections point in the same direction, making it easier to route plumbing in a straight line through tight cabinet spaces.
The wet end can be repositioned to the 3, 9, or 12 o’clock orientation by loosening and adjusting the mounting bolts. This allows the plumbing connections to face different directions depending on your installation layout — very useful for tight or unusual cabinet configurations.
Yes. The Perseus 460 comes with a built-in pneumatic air switch, which is specifically designed for whirlpool bath applications. This allows the pump to be activated via an air button on the bath surround without any electrical contacts near water.
