Without a pool pump & filter, the water in a pool would get pretty nasty, pretty quickly. Have you ever wondered why water left outside in a bucket begins to grow all sorts of green stuff? It's because the water is stagnant, or not moving. A pool pump & filter keep the water moving, meaning there's no time for algae and other unhealthy microbes to begin to grow.
Whether you have a backyard pool or you're looking to care for a commercial pool, it is essential that you know these parts work. If the parts aren't correctly functioning or you're doing your part the right way, it could mean disaster for your water.
How to Operate These Parts
To put it very plainly, the pump pulls the pool water from the skimmer(s) on the pool wall and the main drain(s) on or near the bottom of the pool. This water flows through the pump to the filter. The filter is the important part that removes dirt and debris. Once the water is filtered, it flows through the plumbing to the heater, if you have one. If not, this newly-cleaned water returns to the pool through the return jets on the pool walls.
A pool pump generally has a big, round part at the front and then extends backward. This is the strainer pot. It looks and acts like a strainer.
All pool filters fall into one of these three categories:
- Cartridge Filter
- Sand Filter
- Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.) Filter
Each type of pool filter works a little bit differently, but they all serve the same purpose- to catch any type of dirt and debris. They don't have to be large. In fact, they are measured in microns, which is short for micrometers. That is one-millionth of a meter!
