Overview Of Swimming Pool Filter Pumps
May 30th, 2007 . by Arizona Pool DesignAny swimming pool setup requires a pump for filtering and
heating. It is important to make the correct choice when
purchasing a pool pump, and you might not be pleased with your
purchase if you don’t first do your homework.
A swimming pool pump is responsible for circulating water
through heating and filtering unites with efficiency and at the
lowest energy costs as possible. The right pump for your size
and type of pool will achieve this.
Pool maintenance is more involved than assembling parts to pump
water at the correct flow rate. Other factors come into
consideration in order to achieve a system optimized for power
usage and quick circulation.
Before you purchase a new pool pump, try to keep the following
in mind. Make sure the pump you buy as capable designed to
operate efficiently with your size swimming pool. Follow that
one simple rule and you can’t go wrong.
The right pool pump for the job
Even the most efficient pool pump can use up a lot of power, on
the scale of household air conditioning. At an average of about
3/4 horsepower, a swimming pool pump represents a significant
power consuming device. The best strategy is to use one that is
most efficient for your pool size.
The first step is to ensure the pumps capacity is a match for
your pool volume. It might be tempting to buy a larger pump than
is needed. This usually results in only in higher electrical
bill without any benefit to pumping efficiency. A better
strategy is to use a pump that optimize the power and duration
in order to circulate the water in as short amount of time and
with as little power as needed.
Pump functionality
In addition to the correct horsepower, an efficient pump for
your pool will have efficiency ensuring functionality -
regulator and timer functions are highly desirable for achieving
maximum efficiency.
