The
pump—the heart of the pool’s circulation system. The
right pool pump should circulate all pool water at least
once a day. And efficiency is what counts. Greater
efficiency means lower utility costs. The key to pump
efficiency lies deep in the heart of the pump’s design.
The secret is to minimize friction and turbulence between
the pump’s inlet and outlet. Less friction means less
energy. Less turbulence means less noise. |

That’s
why all Pentair pumps feature a proprietary hydraulic design
that’s been refined over 40 years for more efficient flow.
In fact, they are so efficient they often deliver the
required flow and pressure using smaller horsepower motors—which
cost less to run. No wonder more than 2,000,000 Pentair
pumps have been selected by pool professionals.

How
many hours per day should my pump operate?
That all depends on factors such as the size of your pool,
swimmer load, efficiency of your pump, the filter flow rate,
etc. As a rule of thumb, however, a properly sized pool pump
should probably run 8 to 10 hours a day in the summer, and 4
to 6 hours a day in the winter to provide adequate turnover. |
