Installing An Above Ground Pool Pump

An above ground pool pump will guarantee your pool will be cleaned correctly. These pumps are supposed to use the filter to pump water through it, pushing water in and out of the pool. It is not a complicated process to install one for a pool; in fact, one person can put it together. This process can be done in within an hour and soon you will be able to swim in your new pool!

You need to measure the spot where you want the pump to be. For best results, keep it near the skimmer. This is where you will begin digging a hole for the patio block. This block is where the pump will stay on. Once you are done digging, place the block in the hole.

Now the skimmer will need to be connected. There are hose clamps that need to be placed on the hose. These must be left on loosely. One end should attach to beneath the skimmer at the wall. You can now tighten the screws. Connect the other end to the pump and tighten these clamps.

Next is the attachment of the return hose. You need to place the clamps on both ends of it. One end of the hose should attached to the pool wall in the return part, then tighten the clamp. Take the other end and attach it on the filter return, which is on the filter. This clamp should be tightened also.

The filter discharge is the next thing to connect. There is a union between the pump and the filter. You will need pliers used for the water pump to tighten these. Sometimes no union is present; in this case, you need another hose with clamps. With the hose, one end goes on top of the pump for the pool and the other goes where it says pump in on the filter. Again, tighten the clamps.

There is a filter cartridge that needs to be put on the filter. If you do not have a cartridge, filling it with sand can do the trick. You can now turn it on once you have plugged it up. Check for any leaks. If you find leaks, check all the hoses and make tight the clamps.

Your above ground pool pump is officially installed! Be sure to add all the chemicals needed to care for the pool. Contact a pool store is you have any questions; one of their employees can help. Once your pool is ready, it is time to go swimming and enjoy the sun!
