That means even if you do run your pump for eight hours a day, you could still be needlessly losing money. Sweet deal, right? It makes sure the water is circulated, so dirty particles can be filtered out. It also widely distributes your cleaning chemicals—sort of like stirring cream into your coffee.
No pump equals no circulation, which means no cleaning. No kidding: if you turned off your pump for a significant amount of time, your pool would become a green pond of stagnating water and unwanted bacteria. No, not exactly what you might picture for a refreshing swim. Contact your electric company and find out which hours are billed at peak rates and which are billed at non-peak rates, and then plan to run your pump during those hours.
Another time to think about running your pump is when you add chemicals. And that means you will run your pool pump at night after shocking it so it can distribute the chemicals in your pool. Running your pool pump is one of the most important things you can do to keep your pool clean and pure. Ensure that all the water in your pool goes through the filter at least once a day, and it will continue to shimmer and shine!
A New Generation of Pool Finishes. Note: This is not the same as a turnover rate. Now for determining the speed options on your pool pump. Typically there are two different types of pool pumps, a single-speed and a two-speed.
A single-speed pump has a single flow rate. This is. The simpler of the 2 pumps in that it has a timer to most of the work for you. A two-speed pump is a step up: you can flip a switch between a high speed and low speed. Lower speeds also means lower noise which is a nice benefit. Next, we need to figure out the turnover rate. The turnover rate of a swimming pool is the amount of time it takes for the pumping and filtration systems to cycle all of the water in the pool one time around.
A typical turnover rate for a pool is 8 hours or less. Generally running your pool pump for hours a day is a good option. This is based on the assumption that your average pool pump has a turnover rate of about 8 to hours. That means that the total volume of your pool water will filter through your system 2 to 3 times per hour period. For a residential pool the water should turn over at least once per day.
Pool Volume: reach this number by multiplying length by width by average depth. Then multiply this number by the standard multiplier for your pool shape 7. Filtration Rate: for this you need to know the flow rate of the pump, which includes the resistance to flow in your plumbing larger pools and pools with water features will have more resistance.
An average 1 HP pump will pump 50 gallons a minute which is 3, an hour. In this case one turn over takes 11 hours. An alternative to both these options is investing in a new pump.
