Above Ground Swimming Pool Pumps
On this lens we will look at some of the best swimming pool pumps available for above ground swimming pools. I have information on pumps for both above ground pools as well as "temporary" pools (such as Intex inflatable pools).ALWAYS be careful when replacing ANY swimming pool equipment to purchase QUALITY equipment.
Beware:Many discount pool sellers are able to sell above ground pools/equipment for dirt cheap!! Unfortunately,these products are very often cheap equipment which cannot even be repaired!I If the equipment is a "no-name" brand,RUN! Many times I have seen customer's enter my store with pumps/motors from deep discount retailers who could not replace a $40. pump lid (because it was so cheap replacement parts were not even made) and had to purchase a whole new pump/filter system!
On this lens,all products are Top Name Brands,so enjoy!
ATTENTION! Please note that brand new pool pump motors DO NOT come equipped with power cords unless specifically noted! This is an industry standard and is normal.

Important Tips For Buying Pool Pumps:
Please Read!
This is for those who are less experienced in dealing with swimming pool equipment and may save you TIME and MONEY to read this......
1)Most pool pumps DO NOT come with the electrical cord unless it specifically states so in the product description,please double check before ordering.
2)Copy and save in a safe place ALL INFORMATION regarding you pool equipment,model numbers,horsepower,brand,etc...Sometimes it may be several years before you need the information,and it will be very hard to read off of the equipment after being weathered for years.
3)NEVER "guess" what size pool pump your system requires,it MUST be specifically matched to both the pool size and the size of the filter! If you are unsure,check with a pool care expert.
4)If you are not an experienced electrician,DO NOT try to hard-wire the motor or work on the electrical components inside in any way.Call an electrician or a pool care professional.
5)Never let a swimming pool pump run dry or with low water.10 minutes is enough to destroy the pump and/or melt the plastic impeller.
6)If you are unsure,check with a professional first!
