Some Tips for The Perfect Pool Experience From Swimart
Choosing The Right Swimming Pool Pump For Your Setup
Choosing the most suitable swimming pool pump is something that requires some careful consideration as there are a number of things that you will need to keep in mind, including the amount of noise the pump makes and whether it can be run at a variable speeds in order to find the optimimum performance for your pool shape and size. According to Darren at Waterline Pool Care “Getting the right capacity on your pump is more energy efficient and will save a lot on power bills in the long run”.
Variable speed pool pumps
Using a variable speed swimming pool pump, although costing more at the outset, will enable you to conserve energy thereby saving you money on your power bill ensuring they’ll pay off in the long run.
They are also quieter than the older single speed pumps, due to their use of more advanced technology in the motor, making pool time more enjoyable for everyone. These variable speed pumps use a permanent magnet motor (known as a PMM), which is simiilar to the type used in modern electric cars. This also allows for better control, which is essential in a pump if you do not want to damage the plumbing systems built into your pool system.
Furthermore, they also have advanced diagnostics designed to adapt to your needs, and are therefore much more efficient than standard pool pumps in terms of dealing with the shape and volume of your pool. They can also be fine-tuned to power specific pool features, such as a spa.
In addition to preserving the plumbing features and pipework on your pool, these pumps will also extend the life of your pool filter.
Reducing the noise from pool pumps
Having a noisy pool pump is annoying, and you want to reduce the noise, therefore follow a few simple steps to achieve a more peaceful poolside experience.
The main component of a pool pump is the housing which consists of a bucket with a basket-like mesh liner into which the pump’s impeller (a spinning blade) pushes water and then into the feeder pipes to your pool. For noise reduction it is important that you regularly clear out the debris from your pump and especially clear any clog in the impeller, this you can do with a stiff piece of wire or wire brush.
A noisy pool pump can also be caused by a broken seal which can happen when you run the pump for a long time without water. You can prevent this from happening by adding petroleum jelly to the seal as this will prevent the noise from escaping through the cracks.
