Why is this so important? Pumps are the basis of your water circulation. Good circulation is crucial to creating a pool worth swimming in. If you want a high quality pool then you need a high quality pump.
A pump moves the water around your pool by pushing it through the filter and back into your pool. Technically pumps are made up of two parts: the pump and the motor.
The pump is the bucket with a lid and a basket inside. There is also an impeller that spins very fast. That is the force that moves the water in and out.
The motor is the dense cylinder behind the bucket with the lid. It powers the impeller.
Pumps come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and speeds. Speed is the most crucial factor. It’s measured in horsepower and typically ranges from ¾ horsepower to 4 horsepower.
What kind of pump you need depends on the type of pool that you own. Bigger pools require more horsepower. So, if you have a big pool then you have a need for speed.
But if you have a smaller pool then there’s no need for a pump that’s too fast and too furious. Make sure you get the above ground pump that’s the right fit for you.

Don’t sweat it. We’re here to make this as easy as possible for you. Our article on achieving proper circulation breaks down the formula for you so that all you need to do is put the numbers into a calculator.
