Ranking of the best pool pumps for 2020

The pool water should be crystal clear. For cleaning, you need a special pump that pumps liquid through a filter. Pools differ in their size and water capacity, so a reliable pump must be selected for cleaning and normal operation of the system.

Kinds

The device is a product that pumps water at high speed. Pump types:

• With cartridges. In them, after a certain period of time, water-purifying filters are replaced. This procedure takes place once a month.
• With sand element. Here, the water flow passes through glass or quartz sand, located in a special container. The reagent needs to be flushed periodically (every week). Major cleaning of the system is required annually. For this, chemical reagents are used.
• Combined. A generator is used here, which is a device that produces chlorine from simple salt. The resulting solution has an antibacterial effect.

Iodized salt and sand from the river will not work as a water purifier. It is better to buy factory consumables that are designed for pumps and filters. Diatom pumps are commercially available. Here, plankton powders are used as a filtering agent. Such reagents have high efficiency, but their price is higher. The disadvantage is the periodic replacement of the filter medium.

Separation according to the principle of action:

• Vortex and centrifugal apparatus. These pumps have high noise and low performance, but the products are inexpensive. Such devices are suitable for use in pools with small volumes of water. The products will work flawlessly.
• Self-priming devices are often used for liquid filtration systems. They work quietly and do not require large financial investments, so their use is comfortable. The pump performance is low. Such products are used mainly for small and medium-sized artificial reservoirs.
• Circulation units. These units have the highest power. In just a day, they are able to filter water in a large pool several times (4-5 times). In a small tank, this figure will increase up to 6-8 times. The unit is suitable for large volumes, as well as for commercial use.

Subtleties of choice

All water should be cleaned within 6 hours. When buying a unit, you need to focus on the following:

• Power plant power. The longer the liquid in the pool is cleaned, the more kilowatts you need to buy an electric motor. A weak setting will overheat. Ultimately, it will not withstand the overload and will burn out.
• Energy saving units. Pumps with this option have a higher price tag, but after a certain time, all the costs pay off.
• High noise level. Loud sounds can be annoying when swimming.
• When buying, you need to pay attention to the product warranty, which must be indicated by the manufacturer. You also need to ask the seller about the availability of replacement filters in the store and their cost. Service centers should be located nearby.

Maintenance and repair

Over time, the pump may fail. You can also repair the product yourself, because the system has a not very complex structure. The main thing is to identify the cause of the malfunction. If the electric motor burns out, then there is no point in restoring the device. It will be cheaper to purchase a new unit. The malfunctions are as follows:

• The pump does not pump water in full - replace the filter. If the replacement does not work, then inspect the hoses for a likely leak. Debris could also get inside. Removal will restore normal unit operation.
• The device works, but the liquid is not pumped. In this case, the engine blades should be inspected. To do this, disassemble the pump. Replace a broken impeller by ordering from a store or online.
• The motor does not start. In this case, a check of the wiring and inspection of the contacts is required. At the junctions, they could oxidize. A fuse check will be required. Inspect plugs and sockets carefully. Using the controller, check the pump after disassembling it.
• Change the filter element in time, following the attached instructions.
• It is better to choose a pump with a filter system based on the capacity of the pool. If the reservoir has a large volume, then it is better to purchase a unit that will pump large amounts of liquid without problems. It is important to follow the recommendations.

It is important to consider the nuances of using a pump before buying in order to choose the right unit.
