To benefit from clean and healthy water, it is essential to have a high-performance pool filtration system , such as a sand filter . In interaction with the sand pump, it helps maintain good water quality. But how can you choose the right pool pump ? That's what we'll see right now!

What is a pool filtration pump used for? 

Mainly used to circulate water in the pool's tubular network, the pool filtration pump draws water from the pool through the skimmers and the bottom drain. It then circulates it through the filtration system before discharging it into the pool through the return jets. 

This cycle purifies the water, and in particular when it comes to a sand filter and a sand pump, naturally gets rid of impurities in the pool thanks to an effective pool filtration system. 

Choosing a swimming pool pump 

Choosing a swimming pool pump requires taking into consideration certain elements which are: 

  • the filtration rate: for all the water in the pool to be properly cleaned, it must be filtered in less than six hours, ideally four. To find out if the pool filtration rate is suitable, you must perform the following calculation: filtration rate = volume of pool water (m3) / 4 (hours);
  • the type of filter: whether it is a sand filter with sand pump, a cartridge filter or other, it must be compatible with the flow rate of the pump. It will be necessary to opt for a pool pump with a pre-filter and self-priming, if it is located above the level of the water body;
  • electricity consumption: it is preferable to opt for a low-energy swimming pool filtration pump for electricity bills that are not too high;
  • noise level: it is advisable to check the decibel level if the technical room is close to the pool or beaches and terraces.
