ABOUT SWIMMING POOL PUMPS

Swimming pool pumps are used to circulate the water for filtering. It is important to select a model from an established and reputable manufacturer, as these pumps run continuously for long periods and are subject to heavy wear. Pool pumps incorporate a strainer basket which is designed to remove large debris such as leaves before the water enters the separate sand or cartridge filter.

Different types of swimming pool pump are appropriate for in-ground and above-ground pools. For in-ground pools pump power ranges from 3/4 horsepower to 2.5 horsepower. Features include see-through strainer cover which allows users to see when the strainer basket needs emptying. A self priming feature will allow suction up to 8 feet above water level.
