Reviews & GuidesIs Bigger Always Better?? Not Always! Pool Equip SizingHaving the right equipment for a swimming pool and/or spa can mean the difference of not only money but safety as well. Is bigger always the best way to go when picking a pump and filter for your swimming pool and or spa?? The answer is..........Yes & No! I've been in the Swimming Pool Industry for nearly 15 years and have seen enough pool equipment sets sized incorrectly to question whether the money that is being wasted would clear our national debt. So often the pool pump is too large, and the filter too small. Common equipment set I see in the S.Calif area for a 20,000Gallon Pool with an 8ft round spa with 6-8 Jets with the equipment pad approx 50ft from the pool & spa return line(s).... (1)2.0 Horsepower High Head Pump(i.e. whisper-flo, Northstar, Max-e-Pro) (1)48sqft or 60sqft. D.E. Filter or 325sqft High Capacity Cartridge filter.

Pump for pool or spa circulation, you are simply pushing the water thru the filter and a flow rate that will damage the Filter elements inside the filter(Grids or Cartridges) prematurely.

That is what larger pumps are meant to do. Water clarity is optimized when the water is being turned over completely in the allotted time of equipment operation . If the water is being blasted at too high of a G.P.M.(Gallons per minute) thru the filter, The filtering action is greatly diminished. Moving the water thru the filter as slowly as possible while turning over the... Spa Filter Replacement GuideMore hot tubs than ever are being installed in private homes and cabins all accross the United States. Government regulations vary from state to state regarding the proper care and maintenence of hot tubs that are accessable to the general public. However, privately owned tubs are not monitored by the government. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure proper care is taken to maintain a safe hot tubbing experience. In order to keep your pump working effectively, it is recommended that you clean your filter at least every two weeks. Purchasing an extra filter is always a good idea so that you can leave one filter soaking in cleaning solution while you use the other. We recommend that you replace your filter every six months or sooner if the filter looks compromised. You should always use the proper chemicals as per the manufacturer's recomendations to disinfect your tub and prevent the spread of disease for a healthy, clean, sparkling spa.
