On a hot summer day, everyone dreams of installing a semi in-ground swimming pool in their backyard. However, with that dream comes great responsibility. To truly enjoy all your pool has to offer, you will need to purchase the right filtration equipment and supplies for your needs. Part of this equipment is pool pumps. There are several different types of options available for the average pool owner.

Choosing the best pool pump for your semi in-ground swimming pool, whether you have an above ground or semi in-ground pool, can be tough. You have to choose between multiple options, with multiple price points, and benefits each pump type provides.

This article will break down the benefits of each type of pool pump, and why you should consider purchasing such a pump. Ultimately, each type of pump may work well for your pool-cleaning needs. The real difference that you will need to consider is the efficiency that you require from a pool pump and the price that you are willing to pay for such efficiency.

The Benefits of Single Speed Pool Pumps

Single speed pool pumps are a great option for the budget-conscious pool owner. These types of pumps are not only typically the least expensive option when it comes to pool pumps, but they also run at maximum speed, providing you with the full efficiency of a pump.

While a single speed pump is simply that (single) and therefore only has one speed, this type of pump is very versatile and is a great purchasing option for your semi in-ground swimming pool.

The Benefits of Two-Speed Pool Pumps

Two-speed pool pumps offer an upgrade over single speed pumps in that they can operate at two speeds. While slightly more expensive than single speed pumps, this type of pump is great if you want to switch from low speed to high speed, and vice versa. Depending on the pump feature you need, whether you are lightly filtering the water, or want to add chemicals, a two-speed pump is a great option for your pool maintenance requirements.

The Benefits of Variable Speed Pool Pumps

Variable speed pool pumps offer even more versatility concerning speed than two-speed pumps. You can set them on high, low, or any speed between the two. This makes for a very versatile pool pump, hence the name, for your semi in-ground swimming pool.

While versatile speed pool pumps are the most expensive option, of course, they also offer you the most tailored experience to your pool filtration needs when cleaning your pool.

Variable speed pool pumps, while more expensive, can also be more efficient to use. Using your pool pump more efficiently will result in your pool pump lasting longer.
