You have a great looking pool in your backyard, but, are you sure you have the right pump for it? A pool pump is very important, for it is responsible for the filtration process. That is why it is imperative that you know what your pool needs, and then accordingly buy the right product.
Do you know that by buying a small but superior efficiency pump, you can save up to 75 percent in energy and maintenance bills? You must be wondering why a smaller pump? Well, as compared to a larger pump, the smaller pump will have lesser maintenance and pumping costs.
Most of the times, the pool pump runs longer than necessary. Are you aware that it is not essential to keep the pump running in order to make the chemicals remain mixed? The chemicals do not require any recirculation at all.
For taking out the debris from the pool, put on the pump occasionally, while on a regular day-today basis you can quite effectively use a skimmer. You know what is the best way to remove algae from the pool? Simply scrub it away!
Try and reduce your filtration time by trial and error method. You can easily do this by varying the length of time the pump is on (if the water is not clean, just increase the time in half hour slots to arrive at the correct filtration time).
You will be amazed to know that according to a study, people in Florida were happy with just three hours of filtration everyday!
So, if you want to avoid unnecessary maintenance and energy bills, do take care of the pumping organ of your backyard pool!
