The pool pump may have a pre-filter. This will extend the life of your pool filter. The water is cleaned of larger impurities after passing through the pump.
Control and programming panels for swimming pool pumps offer advantages through an easy system programming process. They adapt to filtration capacity and scheduling needs.
Our expert, Oscar Esquembre, answers frequently asked questions and gives you the keys to choosing the type of product that best suits your pool's needs.
Many of you already know that the pump is the other essential element, along with the filter, for the operation of the pool's filtration system.
Most pumps are self-priming, meaning that when turned on, they will fill themselves with water without user assistance.
The pumps can have different power ratings, depending on the size of the pool and the amount of water that needs to pass through the filtration system.
These variables of size and water volume are what will determine the electrical power of the pump to choose.
The pool pump has a motor that rotates at high speed. At the other end, there is a turbine (impeller) that is driven by the pump motor.
The casing, also known as the vacuum chamber, is filled with water, creating a vacuum and allowing the pool water to circulate.
How to choose the right pump for your pool?
The pump is chosen based on the required flow rate (in m³/h). It circulates the water so that the pool's volume is renewed at least three times per day.
It should not be oversized in relation to the filter. Indeed, the filtration quality would be lower, given the excessively high flow rate through the filter element.
Depending on the type of pool, a filtration speed is established; for a single-family pool the standard filtration speed is usually 50 m3/h/m2; for a children's pool 20 m3/h/m2, etc.
