Pump Basics
The pool pump market was turned upside down when the US Department of Energy (DOE) implemented Federal Energy Efficiency regulations, as of July 19, 2021, on Dedicated Purpose Pool pumps (DPPP). For more about that read Pump DOE Regulations.
It used to be that pool pumps were selected based on the pump horsepower to fit the size of the pool and equipment. You were advised a pump which is too large for the plumbing and equipment could cause damage to the filter and other components and will use more energy than a smaller pump. Turnover times of the pool water used to be discussed although we now know that turnover does not matter.
