Pool pumps are the heart of your filtration system, enabling the water to be sent from the pool through the filter and back to the pool again. Accessories such as heaters, waterfalls, type of filter, solar collectors, etc have a large impact on how well your pump performs. Oversizing the pump can cause premature failure due to increased friction created by too much flow. For energy efficiency, consider a two speed or variable speed pump which can run a slower speeds saving electricity. Some variable speed pumps may be programmed, eliminating timers, and may be set to run different speeds at different times to accommodate in-floor cleaners, solar, and any water features you may have.
Maximize your swim season by choosing the correct heater for your pool and/or spa needs. The rule of thumb is to use a Heat Pump in conjunction with a solar cover to maintain temperature in a pool, while a Gas Heater is typically utilized for an attached Pool/Spa combo to quickly bring the spa up to your desired temperature. Additionally, for a separate fiberglass or concrete spa up to 400-500 gallons, an electric resistance heater may be the right choice.
