Pumps
At the heart of the swimming pools circulation and filtration system is the water pump. The correct swimming pool pump should be able to pump a volume of water that would equal the complete swimming pool capacity at a minimum of every 8 hours. Certain information is needed to pick the right pump for your pool such as the pool's required flow rate, the pool's features, the pool's plumbing and the filter size.
Each manufacturer's pump performs differently and the stated horsepower of a swimming pool pump is not a good factor for determining the correct pump for your swimming pool. The important factor is the volume of water pumped in gallon per minute (GPM) against the friction loss of your pool plumbing system (head loss). A head loss of 40 to 50 feet is average for most residential swimming pool systems. We provided a quick performance curve link that will quickly see the GPM at various feet of head loss for each pump. Gus Pools expert staff will gladly help you select the right pump for your swimming pool needs. Benefit from our years of experience and product knowledge to determine what pump works best for your pool.
