Why Are Pool Pumps So Important?
Pool pumps are required for pools to operate properly. They ensure the pool's circulation is functioning. This allows water to come in and out of the pool, which in turn allows for the pool to stay clean and chemically balanced in between visits from a professional.
How often the pump needs to be run varies. Ideally, your pool pump should be run 24/7, as this means your pool is constantly being cleaned and maintained. However, this leads to unrealistic utility bills. The best amount of time to run your pool pump will vary based on the type of pool and its size, but we have one piece of advice that's universal: it's a good idea to run your pool pump outside of peak electricity usage times. Utility companies often charge more for electricity when it's being used the most often. Once you find out when those periods are, you can lower the cost of your pool pump by making sure to avoid those times.
Season is also a major determining factor for pool pumps. During the hotter summer months, the pool will be used more often, which means the pump will need to work harder to make sure the water remains clean. At the same time, the pump needs to work harder to compensate for the heat of summer. For this reason, you shouldn't be surprised if your pool pump adds less to your utility bill in the colder months than it does during the warmer ones.

What's Wrong with Your Pool Pump?
LB Pool Services runs into a few common issues with pool pumps. The first is simple enough: pool pumps usually last anywhere from 8 to 12 years. Because this is a much shorter length of time than the longevity of your pool, the pump will need to get replaced more often. If you suspect the pump needs to get replaced, call one of the professionals at LB Pool Services. We'll be able to inspect the pump and determine whether or not it's still functioning properly.
Sometimes, you won't need to replace the whole pump. It's made up of two different pieces: the pump itself and the motor. If the motor has stopped running or is making strange noises, you may only need to replace that piece The same is true if the pump stops working but the motor is still running.
Depending on your situation, replacing one of these two pieces may be cheaper than replacing the entire pump mechanism. Keep in mind that pumps usually come with a manufacturer's warranty, which means you may not even need to pay for the replacement part itself.
