The Basics – Pumps

The heart of the pool's circulation system

Pumps

The pump moves water through the filter, heater or heat pump, salt chlorine generator, water features and plumbing. It can also power in-floor cleaning systems and automatic cleaners. A pool pump should circulate all pool water at least once a day. And efficiency is what counts. Greater efficiency means lower utility costs. The key to pump efficiency lies deep in the heart of the pump’s design. The secret is to minimize turbulence as water passes through the pump. Less turbulence means less energy and less noise.

If you're considering adding an automatic cleaner, ask your pool builder to recommend a pump with adequate power to handle the additional demands.
