Swimming pool pumps are , in a way, the heart of your pool circulation system. It is the component that moves the water from the pool , through the filtration , heating, and any water treatment systems, and returns the water to the pool. There are valves that determine where the water is coming from and going to, but that's on a different subject, also covered on this site, under plumbing .
Despite different outward appearance, all swimming pool pumps work basically the same way. They are what is known as centrifugal pumps. There are different pump designs for different purposes. A pump designed for an above ground pool should not be used for an in ground pool. Most above ground pumps are designed for flooded suction, where all in ground pumps need to be self priming.
Swimming pool pumps are selected and sized with several factors in mind, including the size of the pool, and gallons per minute of water flow needed. Also taken into consideration is the type and designed flow rate of the filter, heater, plumbing, and other factors. Bigger is not always better, and it is wise to consult a flow chart and consider all factors when choosing a swimming pool pump.
