How to Change a Pool Filter Pump: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners

Maintaining a clean and properly functioning pool is essential to ensure a safe and enjoyable swimming experience. A pool filter pump plays a vital role in keeping your pool water clean by removing dirt, debris, and other contaminants. However, just like any other mechanical device, a pool filter pump can eventually wear out after years of use. When this happens, you will need to replace the pump to continue enjoying your pool. Luckily, you don't need to be a professional to change your pool filter pump. In this guide, we will provide detailed steps on how to change a pool filter pump.

1. Determine the Type of Pool Filter Pump You Need

The first step is to determine the type of pool filter pump you need. There are different types of pool filter pumps available in the market, including sand filters, cartridge filters, and diatomaceous earth (DE) filters. Each filter uses a different type of pump, so it's crucial to choose a pump that is compatible with your type of filter. You can consult your pool manufacturer or a pool professional to help you identify the right pump for your pool.

2. Gather the Necessary Tools

Once you have identified the right pump for your pool, the next step is to gather the necessary tools. You will need a screwdriver, pliers, a wrench, a pair of gloves, and a replacement filter pump. It's essential to ensure that you have all the tools before you begin the process to avoid interruptions or delays.

3. Turn Off the Power

Before you start working on the pump, you need to turn off the power to your pool. Locate the circuit breaker or disconnect switch and turn it off to prevent the risk of electrocution while working on the pump.

4. Drain the Pool

The next step is to drain the pool to the level below the skimmer. This will prevent water from entering the system while you work on the pump. You can use a submersible pump or a hose to drain the water.

5. Disconnect the Old Pump

Use a screwdriver or pliers to disconnect the old pump from the existing plumbing system. Loosen the nuts or screws that hold the pump in place and remove the rubber hoses or PVC pipes connecting the pump to the filter.

6. Install the New Pump

Attach the replacement pump to the plumbing system, reconnect the hoses or pipes, and secure the nuts or screws using a wrench. Ensure that the pump is in the right position, and the hose or pipe connections are tight to avoid leaks.

7. Prime the Pump

Once you have installed the new pump, you need to prime it before turning it on. Fill the pump with water, close the lid, and turn on the power to your pool. The pump will start to circulate water through the pool and filter.

In conclusion, changing a pool filter pump is a simple process that you can do on your own. With the right tools and steps, you can save time and money by avoiding the need for professional help. Remember to identify the type of pump you need, gather the necessary tools, turn off the power, drain the pool, disconnect the old pump, install the new pump, and prime the pump before turning it on. By following these steps, you'll be sure to change your pool filter pump safely and efficiently.

----It is best to replace the silica sand of sand filters every 1-2 years for the following reasons:
a During backwashing, the filtration bed volume will expand upwards by 1.2 to 1.3 times. The water flow will drive the filtration layer to flow up and down, causing the filtration material particles to collide with each other. Backwash will let the small sand evacuate.
b.Some silica sands will be welded when the acid and alkali are changed due to insufficient purity;
Therefore, the longer the time, the worse the filtering effect of the sand tank. Since backwashing will consume and take away some sand, we need to replace the sand in the sand tank within the specified period.
---Poolking has a professional Quality Control team to guarantee each product is 100% inspected before packing. For example when the filter inner tank comes out, they will make a first water testing before bobbin wounding. After installation all the connections or manhole & sightglass, they will make the second water testing. During the packing procedure, QC team will inspect all the details like wounding, neck, internal resin and so on to make sure no leaking and without flaw.
