Pool Boy Motors & More F.A.Q.
How does a Pool Pump Motor work?
A swimming pool pumps sole purpose in life is to distribute heat evenly and adequately sanitize the water. By thoroughly spreading out the necessary chemicals in the water, pumps also help to fight off algae which can cause skin issues and bacterial infections. Furthermore, algae is one of the number one causes of dangerous slip and falls in and around a swimming pool. Filtering and water circulation is paramount in the process of maintaining a clean and perfectly blue swimming pool. A adequate pump circulates the water in and out of filters containing must needed chemicals and cleaning agents. The pump ensures that these are evenly dispersed to guarantee clean and safe water to swim in. Additional tools and practices such as skimming and pool vacuums are what keep your swimming pool ready for summer fun, and of course the PBM Team.
Single Speed vs Variable Speed Pump Motors.
Single speed pumps are the most commonly used pumps around the world. It doesn't mean it's efficient or the best, however. They are relatively cheaper to buy, but the ongoing costs are higher than those of a VSP. It can rank as the 2nd largest consumption in your home, just next to air conditioning or heating. On the other hand, variable speed pumps circulate water, heat, and chemicals all around with the speed of your choosing. Speed matters, and that's where its counterpart fails to serve. Filtering is more efficient when you can control it to low. On the other hand, if you want to make use of heating, a higher speed is recommended. A single speed has always been known for being both durable and reliable, lasting for about as long as the pool it services. Variable speed pumps VSP motors are durable because they are fan-cooled and completely sealed off, thus protecting them from any untoward effects from the elements. Not only that, but the choice of VSPs to run slower can help them stay calm as well. This will ultimately make your motor avoid overheating and last longer. These are the basic differences in VSP vs SSP motors, contact PBM to find out the best motor option for your pool.
