Under normal circumstances, swimming pool water treatment includes important links such as circulation, filtration, and disinfection. Among them, “circulation” is the core of the entire water treatment process. The “power” of the pump in the process of doing work is used to promote the continuous flow of pool water between closed pipes, equipment and swimming pools, and promote it to form a process of water circulation.
The hydraulic pump is a device whose function is to suck the water from the pool and then reincorporate it into the circuit after having increased the pressure . It can be used alone, to increase water circulation, or coupled to an automatic cleaning device (robot pool cleaner) which will considerably improve its efficiency
The water pump is chosen from various models: self-priming or centrifugal pump, the most common, programmable to plan its use, or variable speed pump , a latest generation model that has numerous functions.
But the choice of pool water pump will also depend on the pressure it can supply according to the needs of the pool, its flow , its voltage , as well as its sound level . It must also be compatible with the pool water , whether it is treated and disinfected by salt electrolysis, chlorine, active oxygen or even ozone.
The Use of A Water Pump
Improve water circulation with a pool pump：The water pump can be used alone or associated with an automatic cleaning system. When used alone , the water pump expels the water through the delivery nozzle(s), thus helping to circulate the water in the pool, creating a strong current and removing impurities stuck to the walls.
Associate a pool water pump with a robot cleaner：When combined with an automatic cleaning device , such as a hydraulic robot, the pool pump provides more energy to move faster, without blocking, and more effectively clean the pool . This increases your performance. The pool pump is attached to the suction brush socket, which becomes a water expulsion device. The hydraulic robot , for its part, retains the dirt in a bag that must be emptied frequently.
The Major Types of Pool Pump Models
The self-priming and centrifugal pool pump: The self-priming pool pump is the most widely used, it belongs to the first generation , it is the simplest, and it is used in small pools and private or private use. It has no additional function. The centrifugal pump is more common in large swimming pools and for private use.
- The variable speed or multi-functional pool pump: The variable pool pump also called a multi-functional pump： is the latest generation pump. Not only can it be programmed, but it is also more powerful and quieter than a self-priming pump, which is compatible with all pool cleaning equipment, has various functions, such as choosing the operating speed of the pool robot.
- The programmable pool pump: as its name suggests, with the programmable pool pump you can program the pressure increase for a robotic pool cleaner .
