Have you
wondered how swimming pools have clean and sparkly water despite being used
heavily? It is all because of the pump. This device is the heart of any pool’s
circulation system. By circulating the pool water, it discourages the growth of
algae. It also circulates chemicals – like liquid chlorine or muriatic acid –
throughout the pool. Without a pump, your pond would be no different from one
in the woods.
How does it work?
The swimming
pool pump has a small, but strong motor. It works in the same way as the one in
a vacuum cleaner. The motor creates suction in the underground pipes that
forces the pool water towards it through the main drain. The pool water flows
through the piping and reaches the filtration system eventually. After making
its way through the filtration system, the water flows through the piping once again
and returns to the pool.
Choosing a pool pump
Size is an
important parameter to consider when getting a pool pump. If you want your pool
to run optimally, make sure you size your pool pump accurately. In addition to
experiencing fewer problems and easier maintenance, you will enjoy longer
equipment life and lower energy costs.
