FAQ

Pump installation questions

It depends on your pool size, plumbing diameter, and budget. Variable speed pumps are our top recommendation — they save up to 80% on energy and are now required for new installations. We'll assess your setup and recommend the best fit.

Common signs: loud grinding or humming, loss of prime (pump runs but no water flow), weak jets, visible leaking around the motor seal, or tripping the breaker. If your pump is 8+ years old and showing these symptoms, replacement is usually smarter than repair.

In most cases, yes. The energy savings typically pay for the pump within 1–2 seasons. They're also quieter and last longer. If your current single-speed pump is dying, upgrading makes more sense than replacing with the same thing.

Most pump swaps take 2–4 hours. If plumbing modifications are needed, it may take a full day.
