When your pool pump has quit and it appers to be time to purchase a new unit, here are some tips to choosing the correct one for your system.
Your swimming pool and or spa pump is making some strange sounds, how it pumped it's last gallon of water? It looks like it might be time to purchase a new unit.
As you do you research and make your decisions about your new pump, it will become clear that your existing horsepower pump might be the best size for your swimming pool and or spa system. Also keep in minds that if you are replacing a very old inefficient pump with a new high efficient unit, check the water flow characteristics of the newer pump. Many new high efficient pumps push more water than the older style pumps. Larger horsepower pumps also require additional electrical energy thus resulting in higher electrical costs. Many times it is best to consult with a swimming pool professional that can ask questions about your pool system and help you determine the best style and type of pump which will operate best in your situation. Keep the water flowing at just the right flow rate and have an enjoyable crystal blue pool and spa today.
