Pumps: a variety of functions and capabilities
Pool pumps are not just one model, but a whole system of devices, each of which solves its own problem. Let's look at their types and applications.
Filtration pumps
These pumps provide continuous circulation of water through filters that trap mechanical impurities (sand, hair, dust). After passing through the filter, the water becomes clean and transparent, and also pleasant for bathing.
When choosing a filtration pump, it is important to consider the pool volume and filter capacity. The optimal rule: water should completely pass through the filter at least 2.5 times a day.
For example, for a pool with a volume of 100 m³ with filtration 20 hours a day, the pump capacity must be at least 12.5 m³/h (100 m³ x 2.5: 20 h = 12.5 m³/h).
Modern filtration pumps have additional advantages such as:
- Work in salt and sea water, which increases their versatility and extends their service life.
- Pre-filter that protects the main filter from large contaminants and increases the service life of the pump.
- Variable speed mode that saves up to 80% of energy and extends the service life of the pump.
Drainage pumps
Drainage pumps are necessary for the rapid removal of water when a pool or other premises (basements, summer cottages) are flooded. They are also used to drain wells and clean sumps.
It is important to pay attention to the purpose of the pump: for clean or dirty water. Also consider the performance and height of the water column.
For example, the Aquaviva drainage pump for dirty water is designed for water with contaminants up to 0.3 cm in diameter, which makes it universal and practical in non-standard situations.
Water supply pumps
Water supply pumps are highly powerful and are designed to deliver water to a great height. They are used for irrigation, watering, pumping water for domestic and industrial purposes.
With the help of water supply pumps, you can drain the pool before repairs or for the winter.
Pump selection: what to look for
- Manufacturer: Trust proven brands such as Hayward, Emaux, Aquaviva, Speck, Kripsol. The quality of the pump guarantees its durability, efficiency and trouble-free operation.
- Characteristics : The pump's performance, power, and functionality must match your needs and pool parameters.
- Cost and warranty: Choose a pump at an affordable price, but do not sacrifice quality. Be sure to pay attention attention to the warranty and the possibility of post-warranty service.
The right choice of a pool pump is a guarantee of clean water, comfortable swimming and long-term operation of your pool. Do not neglect the recommendations of specialists, study the technical specifications and do not hesitate to ask questions about the functionality and features of the selected model.
