Swimming pool pumps are the mainstay of a health pool



Without swimming pool pumps, the mainstay and most essential piece of equipment of a swimming pool infrastructure, it would be impossible to maintain the hydraulic flow and pressure needed to circulate water in that infrastructure. By way of electrically powered swimming pool pumps a constant flow of pressurised water through a pool or spa’s plumbing system and related equipment can be maintained.

Pumps are of course the main element of a pressurised water delivery system to a swimming pool or spa but other equipment which maintain pool and water integrity include heat exchangers, heat pumps, water pumps and filtration systems in addition to chemical dosing equipment. However, without the pump the aforementioned equipment items are pretty much redundant.

Pumps for circulating the water round a spa or swimming pool vary by degrees; as an example, the size and water volume of a pool or spa will dictate the type of pump and also its power ratio and output. The larger the pool size and the greater the volume of water will mean the larger the pump capacity which will be required to efficiently circulate the water around the system. 

As well as the pump size in relation to the volume of water being taken into account, you also have to consider the required flow rate with respect to turnover time. Depending on the size of the delivery pipe work and the length and volume of pipe work, this will have an effect on the dynamic head (the friction loss due to piping, fittings and equipment) of the system. 


There are basic mathematical equations which pool designers and installation companies use to determining the appropriate pump and related peripheral equipment size, placement and ability to complete the job in hand. The simplest is of course the volume of water in the pool using a simple depth x width x length of the pool equation. 
 
Then of course you need to consider the amount of pipe work and the size of filters and heat exchangers in determining the type and/or size of pump required on any given system. However, to gauge accurately the operating parameters of any pool it is far better to engage the services of an expert; in so doing, you will maximise the working life of any equipment in use on the system, as well as maintaining pool health for longer.

  2. I think every swimming pool requires a swimming pool pump and filter for heating and filtering and It is very important to choose a correct pool pump for pool.
