An equipment selection is probably one of the most critical decisions you may make since it can impact your ongoing costs to run a pool.
A long-term view is critical. A more expensive investment in the right equipment can pay for itself quickly by reducing energy usage. For example, the pool pump is, typically, the second biggest user of energy in a home after the air conditioner. The wrong pump selection can cost 90% more than other smarter choices.
The list of pool equipment is long and only a pool expert can help guide you to the right choices depending on the size of your pool and how you use it. The pool pump is probably the most critical decision of all. Running the pool pump on a daily basis can be expensive if you don’t purchase the right size or run it properly.
Years ago, the school of thought was to run the pool pump at the highest horsepower possible and turn over (re-circulate) the pool water as quickly as possible. That is why so many older pools have 2 HP pumps for pool circulation. We now know better. This approach was wrong for two reasons:
