Pool Pumps

Discover our wide selection of reliable, energy-efficient pool pumps from top brands like Aquamax and Pentair. We know that pool owners need dependable solutions to keep their pools clean and running smoothly, and our catalog delivers just that—conveniently and affordably.

Speed Options Explained

• Single-Speed Pumps: These pumps run at a fixed speed, making them a budget-friendly choice for simple pool systems. While they’re straightforward and widely compatible, they aren’t as efficient as newer models and can contribute to higher energy costs over time.
• Dual-Speed Pumps: For more flexibility, dual-speed pumps allow you to alternate between low and high settings. Use the low speed for daily filtration and the high speed for tasks like vacuuming, striking a balance between performance and efficient motors.
• Variable-Speed Pumps: If you’re focused on maximizing efficiency, variable-speed pumps are the best choice. They let you program precise speeds to match your pool’s demands at any given moment, leading to dramatically lower power consumption. Many are ENERGY STAR rated and cut energy costs by up to 80%, making them an especially smart investment for dedicated pool owners.

Shop by Pool Pump Type

How to Size Your Pool Pump?

Choosing the correct pool pump is crucial to keeping your pool clean and avoiding unnecessary repairs or high operating costs. Start by knowing your pool’s volume, as your goal is to circulate all the water within 8–10 hours. Once you have your pool’s capacity, check each product’s flow rate, measured in gallons per minute (GPM), and ensure it aligns with your pool’s needs, filter type, and current plumbing. Selecting the right combination ensures you won’t overwork your pump or waste energy, and that your water stays balanced and healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size pool pump do I need?

The size of your pump should correspond with your pool’s volume. Typically, you want a pump that can cycle all the water in your pool within 8 to 10 hours. Our detailed product specs list the exact flow rates, making it easy to select a model that fits your required GPM and keeps your pool clean without wasting energy.

Is a variable-speed pump worth it?

Absolutely. Variable-speed pumps use efficient motors and programmable controls, making them much more energy-efficient than traditional models. They’re also quieter, often qualify for utility rebates, and can dramatically lower your energy costs—sometimes reducing them by up to 80% versus conventional single-speed units.

How do I know if a pump works with my filter?

Check the filter’s recommended flow rate and mounting style (top or side).

Can I install a pool pump myself?

If you have an above-ground pool, many of our pumps are designed for straightforward, DIY installation with minimal tools or experience. For in-ground pools, installation may require more robust plumbing or electrical work. Unless you are confident in handling these systems, we recommend consulting a professional to guarantee safety and peak operation.
