If you are the happy owner of your own pool, then surely it has already understood that the water in it should constantly circulate: dirty and chlorinated to leave, and clean - pump. For these purposes, special pumps are invented, continuously supplying water into the pool.

Types of pumps

Before purchasing a pump for the pool, you need to familiarize yourself with their views, because For different shape and size, there are different models of these devices. They can also serve for various purposes. In addition, incorrectly selected equipment ahead of time will fail, it will reduce the quality of the pool and reduces the pleasure of the possession of its own reservoir on the territory of private home ownership.

Pumps used in pools are divided into several types:

• self suction;
• circulating pumps with conventional suction;
• filtering;
• with water heating function.

Also, the pumps on the filter element are divided into:

• sand pump for the pool. As a filter element, quartz sand is used, which provides long-term and high-quality cleaning;
• cartridge pump for the pool. The cartridge filter has to be changed 1-2 times a month. Due to this, it costs more and is less efficient.

Alone suction pump

Such pumps are designed to focus on their own. Most often, they come in one set with filtration equipment, because And the other mechanism must be released by one manufacturer.

If you purchase filter and pumping equipment in different firms, it may not coincide in terms of power. Too fast pump will be too intensely feeding water into the filter and overload it. Because of this, cleaning will be performed less efficient, and the equipment will last very long.

Self-priming pumps are installed above the pool, because Can suck water on a 3-meter height.

The principle of operation of the self-priming pump is:

• polluted water is sent to the scremmer;
• from Scremmer, it enters the filter;
• after cleaning, water returns to the pool.

Inside the pump device is also there is a filter. It produces a primary purification of water from large items, such as children's toys and plastic bottles.

If your home pool is operated constantly, it will not be necessary to equip his auxiliary pump that will come to the rescue if the main fails. Moreover, it is better not to install them on one line, but in parallel to each other so as not to provoke too high hydraulic resistance. Equipment of the pool with two pumps must be planned at the stages of the project and the subsequent construction of the bowl.

It is very important to remember that at least self-priming pumps are capable of lifting water on a decent height, but the higher it is located, the more energy costs will be its work. Excessive loads of the unit will depend on its service life, and in electricity bills, so if the pool is located in the room and the basement is equipped under it, then it is better to pull the pump there.

If there is no such possibility due to the fact that the pool is in the courtyard of the house, the pump is placed in a plastic container, along with the transformer and control unit. Containers that serve for such purposes are two species:

• submersible - they are completely hidden in the lawn at such a depth, which makes it possible to have unhindered access to the lid and the contents of the container. The advantage of this option is that it is hidden from the eye and does not spoil the appearance of the lawn and the site around the pool;
• semi-grade - they are hidden in the lawn only half. It is convenient for allowing simpler access to the equipment and the ability to maintain it without effort.

Steel is usually not used as the material of water pumps for water. For the pool it is better to choose high-strength plastic or bronze. Steel housing, as well as its elements are permissible only if the water is not processed by active chemistry. The fact is that steel is subject to corrosion and the action of various substances, and withstands only the use of ultraviolet installations.

If, by the plan of the owners of the pool, it is filled with salted water, it does not fit and plastic will have to choose bronze.

Circulation pump with conventional suction

Such a device is used as an assistant main pump. It is more simply arranged and performs local tasks:

• carries out the circulation of water masses in a certain place of the pool, creates fountains and bubbles;
• when enriching water with azon, it draws some amount of it, and after releases back, etc.

Such pumps must be selected, considering special effects that are equipped with a pool. The low-pressure pump will be enough if you just need to create flow movement in order to distribute chemical additives throughout the water.

If you have conceived to create a homemade mini-water park with attractions, fountains and slides, then a more powerful unit will be required - 2 kW and higher.

Filter Pump for Inflatable Pool

Such a pump is good for temporary basins, not only inflatable, but also frame. It is usually attached to them when buying and is at the same time and the pump and filter, freeing the water from pollution.

Such a device is short-lived and functions for only a few seasons. The filter pump for the pool must be periodically cleaned and change the filters themselves.

This pump model can eliminate dirt particles that are not temperatified to the bottom, and floating in the water thicker or on its surface. Therefore, if you buy a device separately from the pool, select something that pulls the sizes of your reservoir. In the case, if it does not cope, the dirt will have time to lie on the bottom, and then it will be possible to remove it only by completely draining the water.

Heat pumps for the pool

Those who want to extend the swimming season in the pool to the late autumn will come in handy a thermal pump. This device is equipped with a special unit, which is lowered in the reservoir and warms water in it. The main unit at the same time is on land, at the same time serving the air conditioner and either the heater of the room, in case the pool is closed. Shot is thus much cheaper than gas. The heat pumps are operated from 20 years or more, so they are very convenient and provide guarantees of stable work of the pool.
