When to Specify
Choosing the right mechanism for the project.
check_circleP2 Full System
The standard for most projects
Best for most installations. Ideal for new construction, larger pools, and projects with 30+ inches of available deck space. The P2 delivers maximum torque and supports the widest range of pool sizes up to 25' × 75'.
architectureLO Offset System
Engineered for tight spaces
Ideal for retrofits, pools near structures or walls, compact urban lots, and spas where every inch of deck matters. The LO requires just 16.5 inches of offset — nearly half of the P2 — without sacrificing build quality or safety certification.
