If you appreciate swimming in dirt-free pool water then a swimming pool pump can efficiently remove the fine matter that settles at the bottom of the pool. Swimming pool heating pumps also offer an efficient and effective way of heating a swimming pool. By using advanced technology to capture heat found in the outside air, the pump can transfer the heat into the swimming pool, making the water more comfortable and significantly extending the seasonal period of the pool.
In terms of a basic swimming pool pump, there are five key components that you should be aware of. These are:. Water Inlet This is the area in which the pool water enters the pump. The diameter of the water inlet will be one factor that dictates the maximum flow rate of your pump. Water Outlet This is the area in which the pool water exits the pump. Again, the diameter of the water outlet will be one factor that dictates the maximum flow rate of your pump.
Filter The filter is a major component of a high quality pool pump that collects debris before it exits the pool pump and re-enters the pool water. Built from a high quality, erosion resistant plastic, pool pump filters can also be known as sand filters or strainer baskets.
It works by pulling the water into the impeller face and then expelling the water back out to the pool through its slotted side. Motor Priming the pump for motion, the motor is the force behind the pump which turns the impeller, sucks the water into the pump and then back out of the pump. A pool pump is the heart of a swimming pool. It does this by pulling water in through an inlet, funnelling water through a filter and then pumping the water back out into the pool.
Technology is hard. It's even worse when you can't pick the equipment out of a lineup. But we're here to make your life easier, in every way we can. So today Heads up: At River Pools we manufacture and install fiberglass pools only.
However, this filter system guide applies to all three pool types. Your pump pulls the pool water from the skimmer s on the pool wall and the main drain s on or near the bottom of the pool.
The water flows through the pump to the filter, which removes dirt, debris, and if the filter is good bacteria. After the water is filtered, it flows through the plumbing to the heater if you have one and then the salt chlorine generator if you have a saltwater pool. The clean water returns to the pool through the return jets on the pool walls.
A skimmer is the rectangular opening at the top of the pool wall, right below the coping. The water level should generally be about halfway to two-thirds up the skimmer. Side note: You may not have a main drain—they're becoming less common in residential pools, in favor of only skimmers. This is because for smaller pools, main drains aren't always necessary. Water flows through the skimmer and the main drain towards the pump and filter to be cleaned. A pool pump generally has a big, round part at the front and then extends backward.

Often times chlorinators include a stabilizing agent, like cyanuric acid, that will form a more stable compound once it reacts with the chlorine.
No one likes to swim in a dirty pool or a cold one for that matter. There are various methods to heat your pool: heaters, heat pumps, solar panels, or solar covers. Many of our customers use a combination of these to reach the maximum heat potential while using the least amount of energy.
Still, pool heaters are the most popular. Both propane and natural gas pool heaters are good for heating a pool quickly and are able to maintain a constant water temperature. Pool heat pumps are a more efficient, environmentally friendly way to heat a pool. They operate by extracting heat from the outside air, increasing the heat with a compressor, and then delivering the heat to the water.
If the temperature is below 45 degrees, the heat pump will not function. So, depending on the average temperature of where you live, a pool heat pump may or may not be the best choice for you. Gas heaters create a flame on a gas burner that heats a metal heat exchanger. Once your pool water flows through the filter it ends up at the heater next.
Gas burns in a combustion chamber that heats the water as it passes through. Over time, the circulated pool water will warm up and maintain a constant temperature. The longevity of each pool equipment varies from pool to pool depending on your location, how often you run each system, and also the water chemistry in your pool.
We offer an extensive list of how to guides for pool owners that provides step by step tutorials and videos to help you along the way. Remember, when in doubt, call a pool professional. There is nothing worse than spending money to fix something that could have easily been solved from day one.
You can get just about any size or depth you prefer. Hello, my pool has filled up too high. The water is over the filler float and the float seems work properly as there is no water flowing in and when i push it down you and hear it run and then stop when I release. Do I still have a float problem? Can you give more of a description of the feature? My above ground pool is cloudy chemicals are fine filter running well only problem free chlorine high.
The door to my skimmer stays laying flat so debris can just escape, will replacing the door fix the issue or is it something else? The pool can be filled via a hose or a water truck. My built in pool has been losing water though the drain and skimmer.
