POOL PUMPS
Your pump is what actually moves water through the filter, the heater, and back out to the pool. Every other piece of equipment you own depends on it. When it's undersized, aging, or the wrong fit, everything downstream works harder than it should.
The benefits of the right pump go beyond keeping the water circulating.
Find Your Match
Not sure where to start? Here's how each type works, and who it's really built for.
Runs at one constant speed the entire time it's on. Simple, reliable, and the lower upfront cost option, though it draws more electricity than a variable-speed pump doing the same job.
Best for: Budget-conscious owners who want a straightforward, no-frills pump.
TALK TO AN EXPERTAdjusts its speed to match what's actually needed, full power for cleaning or running a cleaner, a slower trickle for everyday filtering. Uses significantly less electricity over a season, and many areas now require variable-speed pumps for new equipment.
Best for: Owners who run their pump most of the day and want to keep long-term operating costs down.
TALK TO AN EXPERTNot every pump circulates your pool. A booster pump powers a pressure-side cleaner off its own line, a cover pump clears rain or melted snow off a winter cover, and a utility pump handles general drainage, a liner, a low spot, or anywhere else water needs to go.
Best for: A specific job outside everyday filtration, rather than an upgrade or replacement for your main pump.

Talk to an expertThe questions we get asked most about pool pumps.
Pump size depends on your pool's water volume, plumbing pipe size, and how many hours a day you want it to run to turn over the water fully. An undersized pump won't circulate properly; an oversized one wastes electricity and can strain your plumbing. Our team can help calculate the right fit for your specific pool.
Because pump energy use scales dramatically with speed, running at a lower speed for most of the day instead of full speed constantly can meaningfully cut electricity costs over a season, often enough that the higher upfront cost pays for itself over a few years.
Most pool pumps last 8-12 years with regular maintenance. Signs it's time to replace one include unusual noise, reduced flow, visible leaks around the seal, or the motor running hot to the touch.
Requirements vary by location, some areas now require variable-speed pumps for new pool construction or equipment replacement due to their energy efficiency. Our team can confirm what applies to your specific municipality.
Most pools do well running the pump 8-12 hours a day during swim season, enough to turn over the entire volume of water at least once. Variable-speed pumps make this cheaper to do continuously, since they can run longer at a lower, more efficient speed.
No, a booster pump is built specifically to power a pressure-side cleaner off its own dedicated line, not to filter and circulate your entire pool. It runs alongside your main pump, not in place of it.
