What Does A Pool Pump Do?
Pool pumps are essential pool components that ensure proper sanitation of pool water. Pool Works provides expert pool pump installation of Hayward and Pentair pumps as well as pool repair and maintenance for pool pumps of every brand used by our Lakeland FL customers. The following are important functions of pool pumps:
- Pool pumps circulate the water inside the pool, creating constant motion, which is important for keeping the pool clean.
- Pool pumps prevent water-borne illness.
- They keep germs and bacteria out of your pool.
- Pumps keep pools clean.
- Pumps ensure that chemicals function the way they’re supposed to in the pool.
Efficient Pool Pumps Can Help Cut High Utility Costs
Outdated single-speed pool pumps that run continuously are inefficient, and they waste energy. More efficient models, such as those available from Hayward and Pentair, can greatly cut costs.
Laws have been passed in Florida which require efficient pool pumps to be used. In general, all new pool pumps installed that are 1 horsepower or greater must now be a two-speed pump or have a variable speed motor. The new requirements involve a higher cost upfront. Over time, however, the pumps pay for themselves, due to utility cost savings.
Benefits Of 2-Speed Pumps
Before the laws changed in Florida, single speed pool pumps were most commonly used because of the initial cost savings. There are many benefits to choosing one of the types of pumps that are now required for pools with 1 horsepower pumps or larger. The following are a few benefits of a 2-speed pool pump:
- Your pool stays cleaner and healthier because of the increased turnover of the water.
- The need for adding additional chemicals is reduced because the filtering system works more efficiently. Chemicals and temperature are mixed evenly throughout the pool.
- Chemical and energy costs are both reduced.
Benefits Of A Variable-Speed Pool Pump
Many homeowners in Lakeland FL prefer variable-speed pumps and recognize that they cut costs most, though they are also the most expensive upfront. The following are some of the many benefits of a Hayward variable-speed pool pump from our Pool Works supply store:
- The poolside environment is quieter, thanks to the noise-reduction feature.
- They are more energy efficient than other pool pumps, at every speed.
- The motors are heavy-duty and deliver efficient, quiet, and cool operation.
- The cost savings of using a variable-speed pump as compared with a single-speed pool pump is dramatic. According to a comparison study, the average annual cost of a single speed pool pump is about $1,740. In contrast, the yearly cost of using a variable-speed pool pump is a mere $145.
- Variable speed pool pumps increase pool safety. When the pump senses that something is stuck to the pool drain, a safety vacuum release kicks in. This frees any person who gets suctioned to a pool drain.
- Variable-speed pool pumps can be fully automated.
