Swimming pool pumps vary in speed. Some are designed to have single speed while others come with dual speed. Single speed swimming pool pumps are the most common pool pumps that operate at a continuous speed. They are required in those pools that have maximum use. While dual speed swimming pool pumps are more suitable for swimming pools which do not require a great deal of use. During the days of less traffic in pools, the speed of the swimming pool pumps could be slowed down and switched to ensure a more efficient speed of filtering water into the swimming pools. With the dual speed swimming pool pumps, one can save up to 60 % on the cost of the energy consumed.Pool pumps that are installed these days are generally self priming centrifugal pumps. They have a water maintaining chamber, which is designed to maintain water when the motor is switched off. The priming centrifugal pumps create a centrifugal force to move water via the filter basket. There is also an impeller in the centrifugal pumps which help speed the circulation of the water.
