That depends on a lot of factors, water chemistry, proper installation, and manufacturer to name a few. water chemistry however, is the leading cause to pump failure. corrosive water, water with a pH reading below 7, can deteriorate the pump seal, usually resulting in bearing failure, if the seal leak goes unnoticed for a long period of time.
A pool pump should only be replaced if and when it fails. A pool pump needs proper maintanance in order to function properly,and should last the life of the pool ith proper care.
5 hours
cheaper to re build but may not last as long
Yes
i don't know how long a water pump should last, but mine just went out on my 2005 TB at 47,000 miles. ugh.
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.
Your pool builder has those answers as every pool builder has his specific rules and procedures. k
You should run the filter on your 18 x 4 pool for at least 6 hours per day or for as long as direct sunlight shines on the pool. In very warm climates, you will need to run the pump for at least 8 hours.
It should be changed every 60,000 miles
When choosing a pool pump for your swimming pool, consider the size of your pool and the flow rate needed for proper circulation. It is recommended to select a pump that can circulate the entire volume of your pool in 6-8 hours. Consult with a pool professional to determine the appropriate size pump for your specific pool size and needs.
The size of the pump you should use for your pool depends on the volume of water in your pool. It is recommended to use a pump that can circulate all the water in your pool within 6-8 hours. You can calculate the flow rate needed by dividing the volume of your pool by 6 or 8, depending on your preference for circulation speed.
To determine the size of the pool pump you need for your swimming pool, you should consider the volume of your pool in gallons and the flow rate required for proper circulation. It is recommended to consult with a pool professional to ensure you select the right size pump for your specific pool size and needs.
