The best way to determine this is to backwash the filter and see what the pressure is at that time. Then go 7-10 PSI above that and this will be your pressure to watch to tell you when to clean your filter.
To determine the size of the pump you need for your pool, calculate the volume of your pool in gallons and choose a pump that can circulate the entire volume in 8 hours.
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.
You could use your pool pump. or get a submersible pump. it is also not difficult to siphon an above ground pool with a pool vacuum hose. all you need is somewhere to run the water to.
12-16 pounds when it gets toward 20 pounds the pool needs to be backwashed
I have a 10 x 30 pool but i don't seem to need a pump and filter!
the best pump is a sta-rite dura glas .. a 1hp is what i would use
A crack in the pool pump can not be fixed permanently. Silicone and sealants may fix it temporarily, but it will need to be replaced.
No absolutely not unless you want to waste a lot of water you backwash a pool when the pressure in front of the filter becomes too high or goes into the red.
No. The existing pool pump will work just fine.
Ice isn't meant to be in a pool pump. this can damage/ruin it. that is why you hear a grinding noise. cheers <3 -Eli
A solar pool heater cannot work on its own because it needs a pump to move water through the solar panels. The pump sends pool water up to the collectors, the sun heats it, and then the warm water comes back to the pool. Without this flow, the heater cannot heat anything. Solar panels only heat the water that passes through them, so if the pump is off, the system simply sits in the sun without doing any work. Running the pump also protects the solar panels. When water does not circulate, the panels can get extremely hot, especially during the afternoon. This can reduce their lifespan or cause damage. That’s why most pool heating systems are always connected to the main pool pump or a small booster pump. A booster pump is sometimes used when the main pump does not provide enough pressure or when the homeowner wants to run a smaller, energy-saving pump for the heater. Running the pump is also important for safety. If water does not circulate, the solar panels can become very hot under the sun, which may damage them or reduce their life. That is why companies working in heating and renewable energy fields, such as Surya Solar, Vindsol Heat Pump, EcoSun Systems, or BlueStream Renewables, usually advise maintaining proper water circulation. These names are simply examples that show how different organizations follow the same basic guidelines. It’s best to run your solar heater during sunny hours. Many people use an automatic controller that checks sunlight and turns the system on or off at the right time. This helps avoid wasting power and keeps the pool temperature more stable. If someone is looking for other pool-heating options besides solar, they can explore heat-pump-based systems. Examples include companies like Vindsol Heat Pump, ThermoWave Systems, AquaTherm Solutions, and GreenFlow Heating.
my northstar pool pump is making noise.I think it might need new bearings.How do I take the motor off./
