Frequently asked questions: Pool Filter Pumps & Filter Cartridges
How many hours a day should a pool filter run?
There is no fixed number, because it depends on the pool size, the weather and how often you swim. A practical guideline is to let the pump circulate the full pool volume at least once a day, and longer on hot or busy days. Our Pool Filter Pump 530 GAL moves 2006 litres per hour. Also check the manual of your pool.
How often should you replace the filter cartridge?
For the Swim Essentials Pool Filter Pump 530 GAL, replace the filter cartridge every two weeks for the best result. In between, you can rinse the cartridge with a garden hose when the flow drops or the water looks cloudy. The pump comes with one cartridge.
Can an inflatable pool do without a pump?
Yes, a small inflatable pool can do fine without a filter pump, as long as you refresh the water often, preferably every day. In larger pools and frame pools, the water does not stay clear for long without a pump, because dirt and leaves remain in the water. For inflating itself, an air pump is handy, such as the Air Pump SE of 150 litres per minute.
Which pool pump fits my frame pool?
Choose a filter pump that suits the capacity and the connection of your pool. Our Pool Filter Pump 530 GAL has a flow rate of 2,006 litres per hour and fits all our frame pools and other frame pools with a 32 mm connection. It comes with one filter cartridge.
What is the difference between a filter pump and an air pump?
A filter pump keeps the water in a frame pool clean, an air pump inflates inflatables. The Swim Essentials Pool Filter Pump 530 GAL circulates 2,006 litres of water per hour through a filter cartridge and connects to the pool with a 32 mm hose connection. The Air Pump SE blows 150 litres of air per minute into pools, swim rings and other inflatables. For a large inflatable pool you may need both.
How long does it take the filter pump to circulate all the water in my pool?
With a flow rate of 2,006 litres per hour, our Pool Filter Pump 530 GAL circulates the 3,840 litres of the 300 x 200 x 75 cm frame pool in about 2 hours. The round Ø 305 x 76 cm pool with 4,676 litres takes about 2.5 hours, and the 400 x 200 x 100 cm pool with 6,800 litres about 3.5 hours. On hot or busy days, let the pump run longer.
