Solar Swimming Pool Pump-XKP

A backyard pool is the quintessential lifestyle accessory in Australia, and around 13% of Australian homes have a pool in the backyard. Having a pool provides relief from summer heat without taking a trip to the beach, and hours of fun for family and friends on warm days.

On the flip side, it costs a lot of money to own and run a pool. Not only is installation expensive, running costs are high. The largest annual cost by far is electricity to run the pool pump for essential filtration.

It is estimated that a typical in-ground pool can account for 17% of a home’s electricity usage to a household electricity bill – even if pool pump timers are set to run through the night, when electricity is cheapest.

How do solar pool pumps work?

Solar swimming pool pump work the same way as regular, grid-connected pool pumps. The main difference is that they harness the power of the sun, not your household electricity, to circulate and filter the water in your pool.

Note that you cannot simply hook up your existing pool pump to a few solar panels. You will need to buy a new dedicated solar pool pump, also known as a Direct Current (DC) pool pump.

Application

Solar swimming pool pump is as efficient as traditional pool pumps, and offer many similar features and options. Choosing which solar pool pump is best for your pool will come down to a range of factors:

Type of pool: In-ground or above-ground pools use similar pumps, but pumps for in-ground pools generally need to be more powerful to pump water up and out of the pool.

Size of pump: Or the power output it generates. This is a key question and will be affected by the size of your pool (litres), how fast the water is recycled through the pump and the resistance the pool pump must overcome. Manufacturers generally have a handy guide or checklist to help you decide on the most efficient solar pool pump for your pool.

Talk to your local pool specialist or solar retailer about the right option for your pool, and if they offer a complete kit including the solar pool pump, solar panels and installation.
