Selecting a Replacement In-Ground Pump

The best replacement pump for your in-ground pool is usually the exact match of your current pump, or the same make, model and horsepower. This will make the plumbing and wiring line-up for easier connections, and also ensures that your pump flow rate will match the pool filter flow rate. The exception to this is when replacing a standard efficiency pump with a variable speed pump, dialed-in to match your filter design flow rate perfectly. 

• •  After July 19, 2021, new or replacement filter pumps of 1.0 THP or more must be Variable Speed.
• •  Avoid up-sizing a pool pump, unless your filter and plumbing can handle higher flow.
• •  Different pumps have different flow rates, even between the same horsepower size.
