Choosing the Right Commercial Pool Pump

In commercial pools, there is a lot of water you need to move around. A large, durable commercial pool pump is a must to keep your pool clean and your water healthy, which is a priority for your business. Much rests on the pump you choose, so how do you choose the right one? There are a few things you need to know before you make your decision.

1. Type of Pool Pump

If you have a commercial pool, generally you will be choosing between two types of pumps: inground pumps or submersible pumps.

Which is best for a commercial pool? Generally, inground pumps will be ideal for commercial pools because they have a higher capacity. Plus, submersible pumps need to be moved in and out of the pool—and that’s a hassle for you and your staff.

However, there may be a place for a submersible pump in your tool kit. They can help empty out water from small pools or from hard-to-reach areas. If your business involves hot tubs, or if your pool is an unusual shape, a submersible pump might be quite helpful.

2. The Size You Need

When you’re choosing a commercial pump, you don’t want to end up with a pump intended for small backyard pools. Our guide to sizing your pool pump will help you determine how large your pump needs to be.

Chances are, you’ll require a high-capacity model. Good high-capacity commercial pool pumps include:
