Pool pumps

The delivery time for a pool pump depends on the product reference, availability, and order destination. Check the information shown on the product page before completing your purchase.

Orders over €100 include free shipping to mainland Spain, except for products subject to special transport conditions. For other destinations or products with specific conditions, the applicable cost will be shown during checkout.

If you urgently need to replace a faulty pump, pay particular attention to the availability and estimated lead time of the model selected.

The pump must be selected taking into account the pool volume, required flow rate, installed filter, and the circuit's hydraulic characteristics.

It is not advisable to choose solely based on the power expressed in HP or kW. Two pumps with similar power can provide different flow-rate curves.

To make the right choice, check the pump's hydraulic curve and relate it to the installation's head losses and the flow rate the filter can handle.

Compatibility depends primarily on the pump's flow rate and the filter's characteristics, as well as the connections and hydraulic conditions of the installation.

You should not assume that two pieces of equipment are compatible simply because they have connections of the same diameter.

If you already have pool filters, pay particular attention to their operating flow rate and the specifications of the pump you want to install.

A more powerful pump does not necessarily mean better filtration.

If it provides a flow rate higher than the filter can handle, the system may operate outside the conditions specified by the manufacturer, affecting its operation.

That is why it is important to size the pump and filter as a set, also taking into account the pipes, valves, fittings, and head losses.

There is no universal equivalence between cubic meters of pool volume and pump HP.

Motor power is only one of the equipment's specifications. To make the right choice, you need to know the flow rate the pump provides at the corresponding total dynamic head and check that it is suitable for the filter and installation.

For this reason, two pumps with the same HP do not necessarily offer exactly the same hydraulic performance.

A fixed-speed pump operates under the conditions intended for its motor, while a variable-speed pump allows its operating speed to be adapted to different installation requirements.

This adjustment can be useful for regulating the flow rate during certain operations and optimizing the system's operation.

The actual energy savings will depend on the operating hours, selected speeds, hydraulic characteristics, and programming used.

The choice depends mainly on the available electrical supply and the model's specifications.

Single-phase pumps are common in residential installations, while three-phase versions are used when the electrical installation and the equipment's characteristics require them.

A three-phase version should not be chosen solely because it is considered more powerful. Always check the voltage, frequency, and electrical requirements before buying.

Start by identifying the brand, model, and reference of the current pump. Then compare its hydraulic characteristics with those of the model you want to install.

In addition to the flow rate and hydraulic curve, check the power, electrical supply, diameter and position of the connections, and physical dimensions.

Dimensions are especially important when you want to replace the pump without making significant modifications to the existing pipes.

Not necessarily.

HP indicate the motor's power, but they do not by themselves determine the pump's flow rate or hydraulic curve. Two models with the same power may perform differently in the same installation.

To find an equivalent pump, compare the hydraulic curve, flow rate, connections, dimensions, power supply, and compatibility with the existing filter.

It depends on the model and the existing installation.

The hydraulic and electrical connections must be made correctly, the circuit’s watertightness must be checked, and the installation conditions established by the manufacturer must be observed.

It is also essential to prevent dry running and prime the pump correctly where applicable.

The electrical installation must comply with the applicable requirements for equipment located in pool environments and must be carried out by qualified personnel where appropriate.

The prefilter basket should be checked and cleaned periodically, possible leaks should be checked, and the pump should be monitored to ensure it operates without unusual noises or vibrations.

The water inlets must also be kept clear, and the pump must not be allowed to run without water if the model is not designed for this.

Maintenance frequency will depend on usage, pool cleanliness, and the manufacturer’s specific recommendations.

A loss of flow does not necessarily mean that the pump is faulty.

It may be related to a dirty prefilter, saturated filter, blockages, air entering the system, inadequate water level, valves, pipes, or suction problems, among other causes.

Before replacing the pump, check the circuit and compare its current operation with the installation’s normal conditions.

A self-priming pump is designed to facilitate priming and operation in certain installation configurations, within the limits established by the manufacturer.

This does not mean that it can operate indefinitely without water or be installed at any height relative to the pool.

Always check the suction lift and installation conditions specified for the model.

It depends on the pump’s materials and specifications.

If the pool uses salt electrolysis, check that the manufacturer states the equipment's compatibility with the expected salinity conditions.

It should not be assumed that all pool pumps are automatically compatible with any salt concentration.

The warranty depends on the manufacturer and model, in addition to the applicable rights under the relevant regulations.

A manufacturing defect must be distinguished from problems resulting from incorrect installation, dry running, unsuitable hydraulic conditions or use outside the specifications.

Keep the proof of purchase and follow the manufacturer's installation and maintenance instructions.

If you notice damage caused during transport, report it by following the procedure indicated by the store and provide the necessary information about the incident.

Transport damage should not be confused with the right of withdrawal or with subsequent damage covered, where applicable, by the warranty.

Therefore, it is advisable to check the condition of the equipment when it is received.

For online purchases, you have the applicable right of withdrawal in accordance with the regulations and applicable terms of sale.

The general withdrawal period for distance purchases in Spain and the EU is 14 calendar days, although its conditions and possible exceptions must be taken into account.

If you have doubts about compatibility, check the model you received before installing or using it and review the return conditions.

Choosing a pump requires relating flow rate, hydraulic curve, filter, pipes, connections and power supply, so having technical information makes it easier to select the right equipment.

At Piscinas y Productos, you will find pumps from specialized brands such as AstralPool, Hayward, Kripsol, Speck, BWT and Zodiac, as well as fixed-speed and variable-speed models.

If you need to replace an old pump, correctly identifying the existing model allows you to look for an alternative with suitable characteristics for the installation.
