Pool Pump Size Calculator

Pool Pump Size Calculator

At The Pool Pumps, we understand that selecting the right pump is key to your pool’s performance and efficiency. Use our Pool Pump Size Calculator to get an accurate recommendation based on your pool’s unique features, ensuring the best fit for your needs.

How It Works:

The size of your pool pump depends on several factors, such as pool volume, pipe size, attached features like a spa or solar system, and the type of filter or cleaner you use. Our calculator considers all these elements to recommend the optimal pump size.

How to Use the Calculator:

  1. Enter Pool Volume:
    Input your pool’s total gallons of water (e.g., 15,000). This will help us determine how much water needs to be circulated.

  2. Choose Pipe Diameter:
    Select the diameter of your pool’s pipes (1.5″, 2.0″, 2.5″, or 3.0″). Larger pipes help improve flow efficiency.

  3. Spa or Solar System?
    Does your pool have an attached spa or solar heating system? This can affect the pump size needed to handle additional water circulation.

  4. Pool Cleaner Type:
    Let us know if you have an automatic pool cleaner. Whether it’s connected to the pressure or suction side or has a separate booster pump impacts the pump’s power requirements.

  5. Filter Type:
    The type of filter your pool uses also affects the pump. Select whether it’s a sand, DE, cartridge, or zeolite filter.

  6. In-Floor Cleaning System:
    If your pool has an in-floor cleaning system, it will require extra pump power for optimal performance.

Your Results:

After you submit the form, we’ll calculate the recommended pump size (in horsepower) based on the details you provided. You’ll see all the factors contributing to your pump size and an easy-to-understand breakdown.
