Swimming Pool Pumps and Filters

There are different kinds of swimming pool pumps and filters.

Pool pumps are designed to work efficiently with the three types of pool filters there are available for a swimming pool.

Both the pool pump and the pool filter work tirelessly to ensure your pool stays clean, and the quality of water remains healthy.

There are different sizes of pool pumps (and filters) to choose from, as well as above-ground and ground pumps to suit your type of pool respectively.

Above ground pool pumps require less maintenance and have a large basket for the collection of dirt which can be cleaned easily.

In-ground pool pumps allow for a fast filtering cycle.

Pool pumps work at different speeds and different power levels.

How the pool pump needs to perform depends on the size of your pool, as well as the area you might live in (stormy or dusty areas can cause pool water to go dirty much more easier.)

Single speed pool pumps (which are the most common) operate at one continuous speed.

They are the best choice for pools that are continuously being used.

Dual speed pumps, however, are great for pools which are not used that often, and can often save up to 60% on energy costs.

This is because dual speed pumps can be switched to a more efficient speed that coincides with the amount of time the pool is used.

Pool pumps are designed to work with pool filters.

The three types of pool filters are DE (Diatomaceous Earth), Sand and Cartridge filters.

DE filters use a unique form of powder called Diatomaceous earth as the filter medium.

Sand filters use sand, while cartridge filters use a form of paper filter.

Each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of a filter will – like the pump – depend on the size of the pool, the amount the pool is used, and the area you live.

Swimming pool pumps and filters are important in keeping your pool clean and useable.
