Pool Pumps
Pool pumps are the heart of your pool filtration system, and are arguably the most important piece of pool equipment since they are crucial in keeping your pool safe to swim in. If your pool pump stops working, you need it to be repaired or replaced quickly to stop your pool from turning green.
Pool Pump Replacements
GBI Pool Services Inc. sells and installs one-speed, two-speed, variable speed and variable flow pool pumps. Depending on your budget, and water circulation requirements, we are able to match each customer with a properly sized pool pump for their system.
Variable Speed Pool Pumps
New technology has produced variable speed pool pumps, which are much more energy efficient than one-speed and even two-speed pool pumps. Variable speed pool pumps use an efficient magnetic-induction motor and come with a built in timer and impeller speed control to reduce power consumption during Ontario's peak electricity periods.
Variable speed pool pumps are programmed to change the speed of the impeller to minimize electricity consumption. By switching to a variable speed pump, it is possible to save $300-$500 per season in electricity.
If you are interested in upgrading your existing pool pump, please contact us for more information.
Pool Pump Energy Efficiency
Single speed pool pumps can consume a LOT of electricity.
Did you know that running a one-speed pool pump 24/7 throughout the summer in Ontario can cost over $1,000 in electricity? Many one-speed pool pumps are overpowered for the pool they are installed on, and in certain cases are circulating the entire pool volume 4-6 times in a 24 hour period. Current studies have shown that 2-3 turnovers is sufficient to filter pool water and keep it safe for bathers.
If your pool pump is making loud squealing noises, the bearings are likely corroded, causing the pool pump to run at an even worse efficiency rating than normal. In some cases, power consumption can double, causing your pool operating costs to skyrocket. If you were driving down the highway at 100km/hr but with your brakes pushed halfway, you are going to use more gas! If you are trying to lower the operating costs of your pool, replacing your pool pump is one of the best ways to do it.
