To purify the water in the pool, it must be taken to the filter system, filtered and returned to the pool. This difficult task is performed by the filter pump. Do not compare the pool pump with other pumps that are used to transport water.
A pool pump must have a number of important qualities:
There are three types of pool filtration pumps: a single-speed pump, a two-speed pump and a variable-speed pump.
Single-speed pumps are the most common pumps that have been used for years. Once started, the pump runs at the same speed. These pumps are the cheapest as an initial investment, but at the same time they are quite noisy and uneconomical.
Two-speed pumps are similar to single-speed ones. The difference is that they have a slow speed option, which is much more economical than having the pump run at high speed all the time.
If you are wondering when to run the pump on high or low speed, most people leave it running 24 hours a day on low speed and turn on the high speed when the bottom needs to be cleaned with a vacuum brush, when the heating is turned on (because it requires a stronger water flow) or when there are fallen leaves in the water so that the current can push them towards the skimmers faster.
Two-speed pumps are a little more expensive than single-speed ones.
Variable speed pumps are fundamentally different from the previous two pump models. Unlike the inefficient induction motors used in single and two-speed pumps, variable speed pumps have a permanent magnet motor. The same type of motor is used in electric cars.
Variable speed pumps can operate at slow, medium and fast speeds. The desired speed can be selected from the display built into the pump. When the pump operates at slow speeds, there is much less friction, which makes the entire system more efficient and economical.
Variable speed pumps operate much quieter than other pumps. They also vibrate less and do not heat up as much. Studies have shown that variable speed pumps are 90% more efficient than standard single speed pumps.
