Lakes and Ponds don't have Pumps... As long as the water is clean, jump in! i just wouldn't suggest ingesting the water
1/2 horse power
5 hours
By opening the drain valve SLOWLY as not to cause a dangerous vortexI have worked on over 60,000 pools and have seen a drain valve once. The pool was built in the 30's on the coast and they used to pump sea water into it once a week and drain it to the ocean. I have drained pools by siphoning but you need enough grade to do this or a hillside behind the pool with a long enough hose to prevent soil erosion. You're better off renting a submersible pump.
Long enough to turn over the full amount of water in the pool every 24 hours.
Just get a 1 1/2 horse pool pump and that should do the job beautifully,
So long as there is water coming through the pump when it is running it doesnt matter what the water level in the pool is.
Draining the water from the "pump" (I'm assuming you mean the filter) should only take a few minutes. How long it would take to drain the water in the pool down to the winterization level would depend on the size of your pool and the pump you are using.
is it on
i have a 5ft pool and have a intex 3kw heater how long will it take to heat pool to a good swimm tempature
Is the power on, do you have a breaker, is the water level up, there are so many reasons for a pump not to work more information is needed.
Your pool builder has those answers as every pool builder has his specific rules and procedures. k
The distance between a pool pump and pool depends on factors such as the pump's power and the length and type of piping being used. However, a common guideline is to place the pump within 3-4 feet of the pool for optimal performance. This ensures efficient circulation and reduces the risk of losing suction or encountering other operational issues.
