Filtering

How to Choose Your Filtration Pump ?

Filtration is the essential basis for keeping your pool water clean and clear, so you can enjoy your water activities without worry.

To make an informed choice about your filtration system, it’s crucial to understand it in detail. At the heart of the system is the pump, a vital element that ensures efficient water circulation. The pump draws in the water through the skimmer and the bottom drain, directs it to the filter where it is purified of impurities, and then reintroduces it into the pool via the outlets. It plays a central role in ensuring clear, healthy pool water.

When choosing your filtration pump, there are several criteria to consider:

• Flow rate: This should correspond to the volume of water in your pool. A general rule is that the pump should be capable of filtering the entire volume of water in around 4 to 6 hours.
• Intensity: This indicates the pump’s power consumption, an important criterion for controlling your energy consumption.
• Acoustic power: For your comfort and that of those around you, opt for a pump that operates silently.
• Power: This must be sufficient to allow the water to circulate through the filtration system without overloading the pump.
• The size of your pool: both its dimensions and its volume.
• How often you swim and the number of people you expect: the filtration time required over the year will vary according to your current or future habits and the number of bathers you expect.
• The cost of electricity and your annual consumption budget.
