When deciding on the right pump for your Georgia gunite pool, you must have the pump that is most efficient to circulate water through your pool. Pool pumps have come a long way in recent years, so you can never go wrong with a new pump if you’ve been using the same pump for many years. Remember, pool pumps should usually be replaced every five to seven years. That all depends on the size of your pool, how often you are using your pool, and how well you’ve maintained the life of your pump. Throughout the years, you’ll probably encounter certain issues with all pumps, but the key to maintaining the life of the pump requires it to stay free of any leaks; this ensures that the pump functions properly at all times.

Conventional pumps run at a couple speeds and are not nearly as efficient as a variable speed pump, however, new models have advanced greatly in recent years are much more efficient than they used to be. Beyond your primary pump, there are accessory pumps that run other features of your pool like waterfalls and other features.
