Guaranteeing the cleanliness of pool water, the filter pump is therefore the main element facilitating its maintenance, avoiding the accumulation of dirt and bacteria on the walls of the pool, for example. Available in many models, respectively adapted to each in-ground or above-ground pool, this pump must be chosen wisely.
That said, the options are quite abundant and varied, as the brands are legion. To choose his filtration device, the owner must first know his pool in order to determine his needs. He can then refine his research by including comfort options and the “price” aspect.
Above all, the choice of device is therefore a function of the parameters related to the swimming pool. The size and shape of the swimming pool as well as the volume of water make it possible, for example, to know the power normally required by the filtration pump:an example here.
In this same concern for performance, it is also necessary to determine in advance the distance between the machine and the pool. Indeed, the effective throughput of the equipment varies according to these different variables. Moreover, apart from a high-performance pressure system, it is necessary to choose a machine that remains powerful even in the event of a drop in pressure in the filtration module.
In terms of economy, various technologies make it possible to reduce the electricity consumption of filtration pumps:variable speed drive, solar pump, etc. Apart from the technical side, other criteria are also to be expected in order to choose the right one, to mention only the level noise pollution.
The installation of a swimming pool filter pump should always be done as part of the construction of the swimming pool itself, for practical reasons. Thus, in the event of replacement, the owner will have to have more or less major work done.
But to avoid too frequent replacement of the pump, it is also good to look at the accessories essential to the installation of the pump, including the skimmer which acts as a pre-filter (preventing large particles from coming into the filter internal). This part is of relative utility for above-ground pools.
After choosing your pumping and filtration system, after having considered the price (variable according to the power and the existing options), the installation of a swimming pool filtration is of a difficult nature. But in any case, it is wise to call on an experienced pool specialist.
