Buying guide for pool pumps

 Buying guide for pool pumps 

A pool pump is without a doubt an essential component to have the option to appreciate a bath with clean water in great condition. 

What is a pool pump for? 

The pool pump is a gadget that allows us to suck the water that we have inside the glass to make it pass through the filtration framework , so it returns again to the glass already clean and liberated from debasements. 

This aspiration is carried out through the skimmers , which are the pull ports installed on the walls of the pool, and also with the assistance of a sump located at the bottom. 

They usually incorporate a pre-channel that is answerable for collecting the largest soil particles, so they no longer go further. 

Looking for compatibility 

Not all pumps are suitable for all channels. The latter has what is called a maximum filtration stream , which, as such, would be the amount of water capable of filtering in a given time. It is normally measured in m³ every hour. 

For this to work appropriately, you need one that works at the same rate, that is, with a water stream equal to or not as much as that of the channel . On the off chance that we install one with a higher stream, what we will achieve is that it has to work exceptionally hard, causing many issues in the medium term, in any event, damaging the whole framework. 

The most helpful 

There are several kinds of filtering: 

Sand : it is the most widely recognized. It is made by means of a compound (or bed) that can be made of glass or flint sand . It is a framework that requires little maintenance (like clockwork, pretty much, in the case of flint, about 10 in the case of glass). (Pentair Rebel Pool Cleaner)

Cartridge . It is usually the cheapest . As its name proposes, it comprises of a paper cartridge inside. It is intended for small pools , and has to be changed approximately once a year. 

Diatoms : diatoms are algae made up of a tiny shell of silica. With them, a powder with a great cleaning capacity is made, capturing a lot smaller particles than the two past frameworks. Its cost is also somewhat higher. 

And then what? 

When all this is finished, the stream will go to the existing treatment and purification framework , being suggested, and increasingly popular, that of saline chlorination , more sustainable and also less dangerous to handle and with less danger to health in case of mistake. 

Finally, it will return again, already clean, to the glass, thanks to the launch spouts located on the walls. 

Depending on the capacity of the pool, this cycle may take pretty much time. In any case, before buying, it is smarter to inform yourself to choose the appropriate pump depending on the total amount of water to be cleaned .
