Pool Pumps

Having clean, healthy pool water is simpler with a quality brand-name pool pump! Your pool pump acts as the heart of your pool, pulling water through the skimmer and main drains into your filter, then out to the heater and through your return jets. Every pool pump has a motor, an impeller, and a basket for trapping leaves, hair, lint, and other debris as it passes into your filter unit. The impeller is located at the end of the pump motor, and as it rotates, it pulls water through the pump into the debris basket, then back out through the top of the pump (the outlet) to your filter. It is essential to always run your pump with the debris basket in place, as the impeller can easily become clogged by even medium-sized debris if it passes through the pump housing without being caught. 

Your pool pump is crucial for keeping your pool water sparkling clean and healthy. By using hydraulics, pool pumps prevent stagnation and move water through filtration, sanitation, and heating systems. With the right pool pump, your pool remains cleaner for longer, reducing maintenance work. Be sure to choose a trusted, leading brand.

Inground Or Above Ground Pool Pump?

  • Above Ground Pool Pumps

    For a semi-inground swimming pool, you'll need to determine whether to use an inground pump or an above-ground pump. An above-ground pump only works when installed below the waterline because it relies on gravity to push water into the pump basket for priming.

    To determine which pump you need, consider where your pump is located relative to the pool's water level, as well as the electrical power available. You’ll need an inground pump if the pool or pool water level is below the plane where the pump is installed. An inground pool pump can pull the water up above the water line.

  • Inground Pool Pumps

    An inground pump doesn't need gravity-fed water like an above-ground pump does and can draw water from the lower pool into the pump, which is known as self-priming.

    Usually, inground pumps operate at 220 volts but can switch to 110 volts, and most must be hardwired during installation. You'll need an inground pump if the pool or water level is below the pump's installation point.
