Reliable Pool Pump Installation Services

It has been said time and again that a pool pump is the heart of a swimming pool. Immediately upon pool pump installation, it will work just like a flesh-and-blood heart, as it’s responsible for the circulation of, in this case, water throughout the pool. It pushes the water through the filter, heater, and chlorinator before pumping it back into the pool, resulting in clean, clear, and warm water for your family to swim in and enjoy.

Factors to consider for pool pump installation

When you get the services of H20 Pool Service, our technician will be responsible for installing a pool pump and filter. Choosing the right swimming pool pump and considering all factors, however, is primarily your call. Here are some of those factors you need to think about when you’re planning to get a swimming pool pump and filter installation done.

• Pool pump speed – Swimming pool pumps come in three speeds: single, double, and variable. As its name implies, single-speed pumps only have one setting (high), while a double-speed pump can be set at high or low speed. Variable speed pumps, while relatively more expensive, have a reputation of being more energy efficient in the long run. They’re also capable of running at different speeds and capacities depending on your pool’s requirements.
• The size of the pool – The size of your pool matters, as it also dictates the size of your pool pump. As a general rule, your pump should be capable of filtering all the water in your pool within an eight-hour period. It’s not advisable to get a pool pump that’s not matched to the size of your pool, as it can lead to damage to the plumbing and your equipment. Our pool technician can give you advice on the type of pool pump that’s best for the size of your pool.
• Above-ground or in-ground pool – Although pool pumps are usually interchangeable, it’s always best to get one that is specifically designed for your type of swimming pool.
• Noise – Pumps make a lot of noise, especially when it’s running at high speed. Single-speed pumps only have a high setting, so they tend to be noisy. The low-speed option for both the double and variable speed pool pumps makes them capable of running more silently than single-speed pumps.
• Brand – There are many different pool pump brands in the market today. As with just about any type of equipment, the quality and features of swimming pool pumps may vary from one brand to another, so you must do some research to get the best pump for your pool. You can also ask us for our swimming pool pump recommendations.

Variable Speed Pool Pump Installation

There are three types of pool pumps available in the market today: single-speed, dual-speed, and variable-speed pumps. Of the three, it’s the variable speed pump that is getting a lot of attention lately because it’s also earning a reputation as the most efficient of them all.

Also referred to as a multi-speed pool pump, a variable-speed pool pump allows you to control the speed of its operation. While the entry-level single-speed pool pump runs at full horsepower when you turn it on, a variable-speed pump can run on different speed levels depending on your programming. This type of pump is powered by a motor that’s different from the induction motors running both single and double-speed pool pumps. The variable speed pool pump motor is called a permanent magnet motor, and it’s regarded as more efficient than the usual induction motor.

Variable speed pool pump motor facts you need to know

• It’s more expensive – An in-ground, single-speed pool pump costs around $450 to $700. Buying a multi-speed pool pump, on the other hand, can cost you somewhere between $1,800 to $3,000 on average.
• It costs less to operate – The upfront cost of a variable speed pool pump may be higher, but it makes up for it in energy savings. Variable speed pool pumps use less power, which translates to lower electricity bills and pool operating costs for you. It is believed that it takes only a couple of years for pool owners to recoup the purchase cost of their variable speed pool pump through their energy savings.
• They can run at lower speeds – Unlike single-speed pumps, variable speed pumps can run at lower speeds and still do its work effectively.
• Lower noise – The lower speed also means less noise. A variable speed pump can run as low as 600 revolutions per minute or RPM.  Compare that to the 3,450 RPM of single-speed pumps, and you will see the difference in the resulting decibel levels.
• It’s in keeping with energy efficiency laws of most states – Some states enforce energy efficiency laws that specifically concern pool pumps and these statutes are often incorporated into existing building codes. If you live in a state that recommends dual-speed or variable speed pumps, then you might be liable for a fine if you have an inefficient single-speed pool pump for your pool. Check the energy efficiency laws of your state to make sure you’re in compliance with the law.
• It helps you qualify for rebates – Some power companies offer rebates for customers who use energy-efficient appliances, so if your bills reflect that, you might be up for one.
• Some models are programmable – If you go for models with built-in programming features, then you have in your hands an incredibly efficient piece of equipment. You can program the variable speed controller for the pool pump to switch speeds automatically, or to use just enough power to perform a specific task.
