How to Choose the Correct Swimming Pool Pump

When selecting a swimming pool pump, it’s essential to match the flow rate of the pump to the pool’s water volume for effective circulation. The industry standard is to circulate all water within an 8-hour period. Although replacing a pump "like for like" might seem logical, if your pump failed prematurely, it could indicate an incorrect pump choice.

Follow our 5 easy steps to choosing the best swimming pool pump for your needs. Remember, bigger pumps aren’t always better—they can lead to higher running costs, overpower filters, strain the pump, and cause early failure.

Why Swimming Pool Pumps are Essential

Without a functional swimming pool pump, pools can quickly turn murky and potentially dangerous. Swimming pool pumps control the circulation system, impacting the pool’s cleaning, filtration, and even distribution of heat and chemicals. Without it, water becomes stagnant, allowing bugs and other issues to arise. For reliability, choose a pump that suits your system, and if it fails, replace it promptly to keep your pool pristine.

Swimming Pool Pumps: Three Major Parts

1. Electric Motor: Spins at high velocity and operates on a standard 230v supply, driving the impeller that creates pressure to draw water through the pump.
2. Impeller: Connects to the motor, moving water from the pool, through the pump and filter, and back to the pool.
3. Pump Basket: Collects debris, protecting the pump motor from strain and early burnout. All our pumps include removable filter baskets and inspection covers for easy maintenance.
